A series of polls all pointed in the same direction:
CBS Poll of Undecided Voters:
Obama 52-McCain 22
28% now voting for Obama, 14% for McCain, the rest are still undecided.
CNN Focus Group of Debate Watchers:
Obama 58-McCain 31
Favorables–Obama 66-33; McCain 49-49
Do you want another debate? 67% NO, 33% Yes
Media Curves:
Obama 60-McCain 30
Politico/Insider Advantage:
Obama 49-McCain 46
Of course, McCain can take solace in winning over two-third of the vote in The Drudge Report’s unscientific Web site poll:
