Polling showed people thought Obama was more intelligent than McCain (57% to 25%)

But of course he is. But at least people are figuring this out for themselves!

Polls: Obama won the Town-Hall Event

A CBS poll poll of 516 uncommitted voters taken just after the event showed that 40% thought that Obama won and 26% said McCain won. On the all-important issue of the economy, Obama got a boost. Before the event 55% thought he would make the right decisions on the economy; afterwards it was 68%. McCain also gained strength, going from 41% to 48%. On the issue of who best understands the voters needs, Obama went from 59% to 80% and McCain went from 33% to 44%.

CNN also ran a poll of 675 adults and also concluded that Obama won. Here 54% said Obama performed better and 30% said McCain did. The people polled thought Obama was the more intelligent person by 57% to 25% and expressed his views more clearly 60% to 30%. In a way, these numbers are not surprising. Obama has degrees from two Ivy League schools and was president of the Harvard Law Review. McCain went to the Naval Academy and came in 894th out of 899 students in his class.

3. Jeebus these polls are incredible today..

Obaama is just blowing McCain out of the water. At this rate, McCain is lucky to get the 24% of the deluded who still think Bushy is doing a good job.
