Showing Original Post only (View all)CNN says "No clear winner of tonight's debate." Who called it? [View all]
From an email CNN just sent out:
There was no clear winner of tonights presidential debate, according to a CNN/ORC International Poll of people who watched.
Debate viewers split 48% for President Obama and 40% for GOP challenger Mitt Romney in the poll, with a sampling error of plus or minus 4.5 percentage points.
A majority, 59%, of those who watched the Boca Raton, Florida, debate thought Obama performed stronger than expected, while 15% thought he was weaker than expected and 23% thought he performed on par with their expectations.
Romney outperformed the expectations of 44% of debate watchers, while 26% thought he performed weaker than expected and 26% said he performed on par with expectations.

It's completely laughable how predictable CNN is. What a joke.

It's even worse that that. That poll is based off of debate watchers only who are 8% + GOP over Dem.

Their homepage headline says "Obama takes swings in final debate", which is good.

CNN, you might as well merge with FAUX because you're certainly not saying anything different.

oddly, the poll on their website is 73 / 24 for Obama....but that's just what the people think.
