Poll question: Do you have a more favorable opinion of Obama after watching the debate?

[AndreaCG]

1. Yes after people pointed out his website with 2002 speech

Against the war.

I still think he's running prematurely though.

[ElizabethDC]

2. About the same

there are some things I really like about him and some things I really don't like about him. Bottom line, I think he needs some more experience under his belt before he's ready to be president. But he did well tonight, so he certainly did nothing to make me like him less.

3. He is ready to be president now.

[Bryan]

4. To date, he hasn't done himself any favors

Despite worrying about the breadth of his experience, I think he's a strong candidate, but he isn't bringing it to these debates. He seems tentative and off-balance, and despite his obvious articulacy, there at least three "uh"'s in every sentence he delivers, as if he keeps losing his train of thought. He may just be better with prepared remarks than extemporaneous delivery, but every other candidate came across as more relaxed and prepared.

[Colobo]

5. He is not rehearsed; he's a thinking man. He thinks before he talks.

[THUNDER HANDS]

6. I don't think debates are his strong suit

I think he'd be better one-on-one though.
