Post-debate polls: Edwards wins

ABC reported that Cheney “won” the debate, 43% to 35%, but its sample was 38% Republican vs. 30% Democrat, and the rest Independent. If you look into the details, you find that Cheney won bigger among Republicans than Edwards did among Democrats, BUT – most importantly – Edwards won among Independents by about 43%-34%, which is just about the same result as CBS’ poll of undecided voters who watched the debate. They went for Edwards 41%-28%. Check out the Chris Bowers and Andrew Sullivan blogs for the details.
