DCorps Post-Debate Panel Survey Gives Kerry Solid Win
Democracy Corps, which has been conducting the most extensive post-debate surveys, using larger and more representative national samples than the other public polls, finds John Kerry a solid winner in last night's debate. Here are their key findings:
· Kerry wins debate by 8 points (45 to 37 percent).
· Kerry moves up his vote margin over Bush by 2 points.
· Kerry makes significant gains in personal favorability.
· Kerry made his biggest gains on likeability, giving people confidence, and having clear plans.
· Kerry won especially strongly in the swing electorate -- independents, the undecided, and battleground state voters.
You can find the full results from the survey linked on this web site.
