From the CNN Article: "Mitt Romney was seen as better able to handle the economy, taxes, and the budget deficit among the debate audience, but it seems that issues were trumped, or at least blunted, by intangibles, including the expectations game," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland." HOWEVER, they conveniently didn't provide the margins on these topics. They talk about a COUPLE of topics where Romney came out on top, but only by a little: "Romney had a 49%-46% edge on which candidate seemed to be the stronger leader and 45%-43% margin on who answered questions more directly, while Obama had a 44%-40% advantage on which man seemed to care more about the audience members who asked questions." Now, here are the numbers CNN disclosed ONCE but hasn't repeated: On who would better handle the economy: 58 percent Romney; 40 percent Obama. On who would better handle health care: 49 percent Romney; 46 percent Obama On taxes: 51 percent Romney; 44 percent Obama On who is a stronger leader: 49 percent Romney; 46 percent Obama On who is more likeable: 47 percent Obama: 41 percent Romney On who cares more about your life: 44 percent Obama; 40 percent Romney On who answered more directly: 45 percent Romney; 43 percent Obama FROM THE CBS POLL: after the debate, 34 percent said the president would better handle the economy, with 65 percent saying Romney would.* Who won? Not sure it is as cut-and-dried as some are suggesting.
