Independents thought Kerry won debate 53% to 37%

[montana500]

The reason the overall figures show only a slight advantage for Kerry, despite his greater margin among his own party and winning the independent vote, is that the sample of viewers had more Republicans (38%) than Democrats (32%) or independents (30%).

2. Excellent post. Zogby 10/10 tracking on independents says...

only 16% (sixteen,XVI) of them think * deserves reelection. Different samples but wow, the Kerry win combined with this show the campaign is working extremely well. The big Bush numbers nationally reflect a skew from Texas which is big and very pro-Bush. As we approach the end of the campaign and our people in Texas get increasingly pissed off about DeLayGate, etc., watch that number close.
