is it surprising?
The polls should be 100% to 0% if simply asked who won the debate.
The foxnews polls are surprising
..eh...you can get 20% of people to believe almost anything...
Where did you get the Fox News numbers?

There are thousands of people flooding the polls to skew the results. It happened a couple of times last week too. I'm not sure why it's an advantage to one side or the other to fake the results of a poll. Bad polling didn't help John Kerry.Quote:

You realize the scientific polls have Biden winning, as well.
Honestly:
I thought they both did very well.
Irritating Biden bit:
"The fact of the matter is..."
Irritating Palin bit:
A total inability to string together more than two coherent thoughts.
Biden seemed to have a solid grasp of things, as one would expect. He also did far better at actually answering the moderators questions.
Palin seemed confident and folksy, if a bit unintelligble at times. She even demonstrated a real grasp of at least one or two facts.

I found a few of Palin's comments to be a bit snide though, but I am not sure if that is my own bias speaking or something anybody else picked up on.
She has seemed to me to embody some of the worst streak of the GOP, namely the elitist "liberals are stupid, we're so smart" self-love. That is why she is so well loved by many in the party I think.
I was just hoping she'd end a sentence before her answer. She speaks in runon which gets annoying. She did show a lot of improvement over her recent exposure though.Quote:

I think her camp did a great job of lowering the bar beforehand, and that helped make some happier about her performance.Quote:

One thing that both Obama and Biden did in their respective debates was catch McCain/Palin in rather obvious lies.
I am sure the GOP faithful didn't pick up on that, but it was rather obvious to the rest of us.
The lies and sickening distortions coming from the Republican campaign this time around really destroyed any lingering respect that I had for McCain. I expected a little bit here and there, but it is obvious his Rove-style handlers are definitely in charge.
Icky.
Nothing makes the kids come out like voting on a local news Web site's poll.
Yeah, those rapscallions and their high-falutin shenanigans! :wowQuote:

I think it's the youth that is skewing the results. You know, the generation that has nothing better to do with their time/money than text vote for American Idol contestants.
I think it's the results of the debate skewing the results of the polls.

So the young HUSSEINists gamed the polling, ok.
but the young McNasty's? where were they? Why didn't they counter-game?
Why didn't the infamous, sininster, aggressive Repug dirt tricksters and swift-boaters counter-game the polling?
Unfortunately Palin did a crappy job of callin Biden out when he lied, and Biden kept hammering at some thing that weren't really lies, though he did get some good ones.Quote:

Post the scientific ones. Internet polls are garbage.Quote:

Since the people doing it did it on several other polls earlier in the week, it doesn't really make sense that they'd fail to do it for the most important poll so far in this election season. Does it?Quote:
