[JI7]

[Taverner]

1. I dunno - he's coming off as squirrely to me NT

[WI_DEM]

2. No. Not in my opinion.

[NYC Liberal]

3. No. Too aggressive.

Talking over Leher and Obama. Wrestling for more time.

[BumRushDaShow]

4. He is too unstable. n/t

[riderinthestorm]

5. Based upon my convo in the past hour, with fairly neutral folks, yes. nt

[Mr.Turnip]

6. No he's trying to come off as Gingrichish, winning not by likability but by agression.

And that sometimes works.

[GreenPartyVoter]

18. Agreed.

[NutmegYankee]

7. No. He comes off as a bully. nt

[Generic Brad]

8. Smarmy, insincere, and slick

I don't like that. He seems like a fast talking insurance salesman.

[renate]

9. no, not at all

More articulate than I thought he'd be, but no, not likeable.

[liberal N proud]

10. If you like a condescending screaming idiot who knws nothing.

[avebury]

11. Not in my opinion.

He is coming off as pushy, obnoxious and like he has taken some speed or something. Not presidential material.

[Flatpicker]

12. Not really

[moondust]

13. Aggressive and desperate.

Domineering, won't shut up, rude.

[Lex]

21. This

is true.

[cigsandcoffee]

14. No. He's coming off as competent. n/t

[WI_DEM]

31. yes and competent liar and phony--but that may be enough for dumb ass low information voters.

[klook]

15. If you like stuffed shirts who lie all the time. (n/t)

[begin_within]

16. He's like the guy who can't lose an argument, so you just give up and let him think he won

[cali]

17. My antipathy to him is such that I can't make a judgment on that

However I do think he came off as the "alpha dog" here. Does that help him? Hurt him? I don't know. I think the President came off as oddly passive and unsure of himself.

[madokie]

19. robme is showing himself to be what he is

an arrogant asshole with no idea as to what he is in for as he seeks the pResidency

[Bonobo]

20. No. certainly not. nt

[rasberry]

22. Absolutely not

He just seems like a rude, rich jerk, who bullies & talks over everyone.

[KathieG]

23. No, he's coming off as an obnoxious bullshit artist

[GardeningGal]

24. He looks like and acting like he's on drugs.

[marions ghost]

25. He's making no sense

I don't like people who ramble around spouting nothing but lies and gibberish.

So, no.

[Incitatus]

26. Well, he said he would fire Lehrer and kill Big Bird. nt

[WinkyDink]

27. No. But many voters prefer "take charge" over "likeable."

[lolamio]

28. He wants to kill Big Bird. No, he's not coming off as likable. n/t

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

29. Only if you define smarmy as likeable.

[smackd]

30. is this a trick question?

[JI7]

34. not a trick question, just that this often matters more in the end

i hate him but i wanted to see what others thought. DU isn't really a good place to get a good answer for that since we are more likely to lean towards hating him.

but i just wanted to see what others thought.

[Bobbie Jo]

32. Even less likable, if that's possible.

[valerief]

35. He came off as a frantic bullying asshole. nt

[demo dutch]

36. Nope

[Hamlette]

37. yes, people are going to love him, and love this debate

Romney was so much better than Obama it is sickening.

Damn

Damn

At least I don't have to watch the other debates. I can't take it.

Hope to gawd this is not the beginning of the end. I'll be watching Silver from here on out.

[StarryNite]

38. Absolutely...

NOT! He came off as the asshole that he is!

[mia]

39. No.

I thought better of him before the debate. He doesn't have enough self control. His expressions were too emotional.

[PA Democrat]

40. No. He was a bully. He smirked through Obama's responses

as if he thought Obama below him. He interrupted the president and Lehrer as if he was emperor of the world.

[SaveAmerica]

41. No, I find him creepy and frantic

[Politicub]

42. I guess he did if you like bullies

who lie and bullshit the whole time.

I suppose some people are into that. Just look at the GOP.
