According to the PPP poll

Moderates believed Obama won 63-27.

See Obama more positive 53-25, Romney less positive 47-27.

Moderates more likely to vote for Obama 53-31

Obama also viewed more positively by Indies, Romney less.

Indies more likely to vote for Obama 45-31

Hispanics also say Obama won and view Romney less positively.

Young people thought Romney won the debate, though. lol

 

[Measley]

Anyone care to bring up how Obama reamed Romney's ass on immigration and how he tied Mitt to the unpopular Arizona law?

I had no idea that one of Romney's advisers is the architect of the AZ bill.

GG Romney.

My mother posted this on Facebook:

Dear Mr. Romney,

As a member of the perennially screwed underemployed with a kid in college your plan to take away my child and education deductions will raise my taxes by at least $3,000.

Your remark that I will get a tax break on capitol gains, dividends, and interest would be helpful if I EVER had made enough money to A) invest in anything, B) if interest rates on potential savings accounts or anything else not tied to the stock market returned more than 1% in interest or C) I ever owned anything I could sell at a profit (rule out my house since all it does is lose value).

I have tried to buy the idea that you may not be a completely out of touch rich guy but your tax remedy shows how laughably out of touch you are with my situation.

Your mom is awesome.

 

[Plinko]

They aren't, that is the answer

True. That guy who plugged his business was an obvious plant.

[teh_pwn]

Yeah, I have NO IDEA why the fuck Romney is doing this capital gains thing for "low income" (<200K). This is only appealing to people making 100k, or people making 60-100k that are investing heavily.

We have these things called tax shelters. So that if you do make more money than most people and can afford to save up for retirement, you get 5k per year in IRA and 15k per year in 401k.

So in order for this plan to be worth a damn, you'd have to be investing more than 20k, or investing heavily short term.

That shows how disconnected Romney is with America. Isn't he supposed to ignore capital gains, because talking about it brings focus to the biggest tax inequity in American history?

 

[markatisu]

The Libya moment is going to be the defining moment, George HW Bush looked at his watch, Gore sighed, McCain pointed....now Romney can join them

 

[NullPointer]

he can talk about how he totally would have killed osama bin laden but better

LOL.

Earlier, with more bullets made in the USA.

 

[Black Mamba]

wat

Possible more young Repubs in the sample. Who knows. I definitely don't.

 

[DataStream]

Any poll results with a focus on women?

 

[speculawyer]

im probably a minority on this one, but i didnt think Obama's answer on the women's issue was as strong as it couldve been. Much better than Romney's dont get me wrong

That answer was terrible. He went into long-winded Obama with a personal story and blah blah blah Lilly Ledbetter blah blah.

He should have spent a minute on Lily Ledbetter and then went on to other things . . .

 

[Bob White]

Link to full debate? Just got home.

...nevermind. i just googled it. derp

Young people would not have been polled

I would have been on that helicopter myself.

wat

Trollings can go unnoticed in real life.

 

[Jackson50]

Among independent voters 61% thought Romney looked better on the bar stool to Obama's 34%.

Damn. I guess that preparation paid off.

 

[RDreamer]

Possible more young Repubs in the sample. Who knows. I definitely don't.

I mean, the question tailored specifically to young people was kind of danced around by both of them, but I feel like Mitt was much worse.

I suppose the economy is hitting us pretty bad still

Literally just made almost this exact post in the other thread :/ Yeah what is wrong with young people today?

 

[Hellsing321]

Just donated $100 to Obama. Feels good man.

binders full of polls full of women!?!?!?

 

[djplaeskool]

The Libya moment is going to be the defining moment, George HW Bush looked at his watch, Gore sighed, McCain pointed....now Romney can join them

I don't think I will shake the look Obama gave him.
I've seen my father give me that look.
I know what it means:
"I've done fucked up. I'll go to my room now"

 

[Officerrob]

Wolf Blitzer is still pushing a draw

 

[teh_pwn]

binders full of polls full of women!?!?!?

Or how about "go home and make a sandwich, work at 9 PM, hahaha".

 

[metalslimer]

Young people do not think Romney won lol. Unless their version of young is like 30

 

[Frank the Great]

future president cory booker on colbert!

 

[Measley]

Wolf Blitzer is still pushing a draw

CNN is reaching levels of pathetic.

 

[norinrad]

That Romney self-destruct on Libya is damn-near fatal. Obama and CNN embarrassed him hardcore. I really don't see how you can recover from that.

Not only the Romney gaffe to end all gaffes, but Obama schooling him like a second grader was simply brutal.

where's the vid on this?

 

[pigeon]

Apparently the binder line wasn't even true, according to David Bernstein. Here's the link that I can't even visit yet because the server is slammed but when I can I will quote whatever the hell it says: http://t.co/Tm7rCQY0

Fuck off Wolf.

 

[RDreamer]

I think the problem was we put way too much stock in Obama being actually able to change things, and then got pretty disillusioned when things didn't completely turn the other direction (because it's fucking unreasonable). So, a lot of us think neither candidate really represents us, and I think that's almost a correct assumption. Something drastic needs to be done about the student debt problem, and neither of these people are going to get there. Mitt's so far off base on that issue, though it isn't even funny. Obama's much closer, but still a bit off the mark, I think.

Wolf Blitzer is still pushing a draw

Wolf is literally the worst pundit. Ever since a few days ago when he let Romney get off insanely easy on a stupid questions... man. what a tool.

 

[giga]

Barring a big gaffe, this format doesn't lend itself to a clear winner. Romney probably just wants to hold serve and then try to hammer Obama on Libya in the foreign policy debate. Anything even close to a "win" for Romney tonight would be huge for him.

Romney is going to win another debate isn't he.

I'm afraid so, you can lie to get ahead in life it seems

Unless Obama is able to catch Romney's lies quickly and succinctly, Romney will capture the flow of the debate again. He's willing to lie and flip and will keep it up because it apparently works and NO one is calling him on it.

Hopefully OBama proves me wrong

I predict Romney will be declared the winner of the debate by a majority of people.

Weak Obama will probably come out cowering again and have to have Papa Bill to clean things up for him after the debate.

Tonight:

Yeah right. It'll be more like this:

i am worried for the Libya question that Mittey will inevitably bring up. I don't know how Obama can get out of that cleanly without looking weak. Perhaps he'll pull a Biden and blame Congress but with Clinton taking one for the team, taking the blame...it'll be interesting to see how the president answers.

I fully expect Obama to be so nervous he almost falls.

 

[markatisu]

CNN is reaching levels of pathetic.

Yeah they are pretty much the only ones, even FOX says Obama won they just argue as to why it happened (bad moderating, bad questions, etc)

 

[Dominican Power]

PoliGaf is back

 

[Chumly]

I've said before I find CNN worse than Fox News now and days. There push to the middle is pathetic. Romney could have probably called Obama a N***** and they would still call it a draw.

 

[Link]

Who the fuck does CNN survey for these polls?

 

[AlteredBeast]

Man, Romney is such a bad debater when pressed. Taking the debate from a mostly dishonest angle, I could have outdebated Obama on so many points and he just stumbled time and time again.

Bravo to Obama to doing it right and winning at the same time. I wasn't impressed with almost any of his speaking points except for when he was debating Romney directly. He has made the campaign all about Romney again, not about his own failures.

 

[NullPointer]

Yep, giga, make sure you tally those PoliGAF points correctly.

There is always hope, bitches.

I'd seriously watch Fox News over CNN at this moment.

Can't get this to load.

haha Hannity is trying to say Crowley says Romney is right. She didn't say that, she said something else.

 

[ErasureAcer]

Just donated $100 to Obama. Feels good man.

You're a trooper. Donated $15 after Biden debate and $20-25 on the last night of the DNC.

 

[Brinbe]

Seriously, just embarrassing and so transparently bad. Romney didn't win debate, so let's focus on other numbers!!!

 

[Clevinger]

How did CNN get so bad?

They've titled their post debate coverage after a weekly sporting event. How can you not expect it?

 

[Black Mamba]

AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH

HANNITY SAID LIBYA WAS ROMNEY'S BEST MOMENT.


I'M DYING HERE.
