CBS News Poll of Uncommitted Voters Watching the Debate

46% of uncommitted voters who watched the debate tonight thought Joe Biden was the winner. 21% thought Sarah Palin won, 33% thought it was a draw… 98% after the debate saw [biden] as knowledgeable (79% before the debate).

I think in the main it was pretty superficial.

There's really no way to take you seriously, is there? The fact is you'll see the polls rise in the next few days.....She hit a home run!

As I said - I found the content of the debate to be pretty superficial.

I heard tonight the inside-the-beltway denizen talking to a Main Street American.

Of course the pundits are going nuts because Palin did not make any gaffes they were looking forward to.

I see in her how a middle class American processes information and how they would respond.

Those of us used to Sunday morning talk shows will see her style quaint but she reminds me of Harry Truman.

Give her 6 months and you will be surprised what she can be.

Clearly, Sarah Palin won in style. She can strike ordinary Americans as a breath of fresh air different from all the elite discourse.

We'll see what the polls say in the coming days but I suspect McCain poll numbers may stabilize and perhaps even improve.

Biden ( I like this guy very much) met the expectation people have of a senator whose been in Washington for 36 years.. No more no less.

How someone talks isn't an indication of the quality of wisdom or political judgement that they have.

It's not necessarily how she talks but also how she processes information and respond. Not in crisp point 1, 2, 4 etc. But in very plain language addresses issues the way she understands it and then later in the response addresses them. I think many ordinary folks who are still undecided will find it quite resonating..

Take your biases off and try to put on an objective observer hat guys

After you

Pure objectivity-

Palin spoke the 'plain talk' like she was trained to talk. Biden mostly spoke with facts. Who won?

Biden sounded like he was talking from his head.. Palin sounded like she was just repeating things she had memorized..

Thats what we felt too

So, it's ok to ignore the question, spout some platitudes and smile disarmingly? That's your interpretation of her processing information and responding to it? Well, I'll give you, the 'in a way she understands it' because quite clearly on most of the issues her understanding is at politics 101 level. I don't really care if you think I am biased against her quite honestly, she's not suitable for the VP slot, she would be a total disaster for America unless she is given absolutely no power and told to keep her mouth firmly shut.

And you sure it wasn't the mainstream liberal media telling you what to think?

bumping my own post.

this is all that matters. not what those of us who aren't undecided think, but what the undecided think.

check it out, b1tchez.

could it be that the american people are no longer taken in by frivolity?

color me surprised.

Anyway... that's enough mainstream liberal media for one night. Now I'll let the regular old mainstream media to shoe me the Cubs likely lose the game against the Dodgers.

You should try that sometime. You'd see more clearly.

All I can say is, this had better turn out to be meaningful because that woman is a liablity.

Are none of us here "ordinary folks"?

As I said - it wasn't lost on me that the moderator mentioned on serveral occasions that the candidates weren't really answering the questions asked. I think the format of the debate catered specifically to the sort of performance that Palin put in. Polished certainly, but ultimately rather superficial.

Did anyone notice that Biden was all like Palin is a strong debater and I don`t feel so confident because I`m not a very good debater a few days ago on the news??? Strategy paid off!
