Candidates first debate poll

This is a little late but I was going to post it yesterday but didn't have the time too. I found this article very interesting because it shows Obama up in the polls after the debate. The Gallup Poll picked Obama over McCain when asked which candidate offers the best proposals for this ccountry's problems. Obama did 52%-35% and McCain did 46%-34%. Obama also had a positive rating versus McCain after the debate was seen. "Four national polls showed Obama with leads of 5 to 8 percentage points." The debate offered people a sense of being more comfortable with Obama he does have a strange name and many don't really know him. The public finally got to see Obama for themselves. The debate had a positive impact for Obama. Many feel Obama can fix economic woes more so than McCain. Women said Obama did a better job in the debate versus McCain, men were more divided, and independents said Obama did better. People are starting to warm up to Obama.
