Debate Reaction

So...post-debate reaction:

It is apparent President Bush did better in this debate than the first one, however, I was impressed on how well prepared Senator Kerry was, especially in the first half...One of my favorite facts he pointed out (it even shocked me a bit)...In response to Bush saying we had a huge coalition in Iraq, Kerry says: If Missourri was its own country they would be the third largest country (troop levels) in the coalition in Iraq behind the U.S. and G.B.

I don't trust all of the online polls which say Kerry won by 70 or 80% margins because I know they are rigged (lol). However, I did see my first scientific last night from Gallup. They are reporting a narrow lead for Kerry 47-45 when asked who won the debate. However, what is most important about this poll is the fact that 38% were Rep., 32% were Dem., and 30% were Ind.

Whats most significant and important about this debate is how the Ind. feel about the performances, "Democrats rallied behind Kerry's performance by 87% to 8%, while Republicans rallied behind Bush's performance by a slightly smaller margin, 83% to 10%. But independents chose Kerry by a 16-point margin, 53% to 37%."

Futhermore, Kerry received much higher favorability ratings than Bush after the deabte.
