DCorps Post-Debate Panel Survey Gives Kerry Solid Win

Democracy Corps, which has been conducting the most extensive post-debate surveys, using larger and more representative national samples than the other public polls, finds John Kerry a solid winner in last night's debate. Here are their key findings:

· Kerry wins debate by 8 points (45 to 37 percent).

· Kerry moves up his vote margin over Bush by 2 points.

· Kerry makes significant gains in personal favorability.

· Kerry made his biggest gains on likeability, giving people confidence, and having clear plans.

· Kerry won especially strongly in the swing electorate -- independents, the undecided, and battleground state voters.

You can find the full results from the survey linked on this web site.

impression, strutting around like a chicken with his head jutting back and forth, was not a pretty picture. It gave a very good look into the mental illness and lack of control of the Unelected Fraud.

It was not a pretty picture.

2. Although this is good news...

I am so sick of seeing polls where there are more Republican respondents than Dems. There are far more registered Dems. Think about it, if Kerry won the debate with more Repuke respondents, we must be really ahead.
