Interesting survey results on the debate

From www.iwon.com which tends to lean slightly towards the GOP. Their polls seem to be pretty reliable because they are very consistant and quite predicatable.

The really interesting part is that 1% said they will now vote for Bush while 12% said they will now vote for Kerry.

1. I have no clue how reliable IWON is but

If polls spread out like this, then Kerry won by a margin of about 65-35%. The big thing to take away, if possible, is the people who will now vote for Kerry/Bush. Kerry took undecideds who watched by a margin of by about 75%+. That is what Kerry needs to focus on, undecideds and first-time voters. A good night for Kerry.

2. It's reliable in that it's consistant.

It's not a scientific poll but it is very predictable when it covers political issues.
