McClatchy poll: After veep debate, undecideds are breaking for Obama
Which is a reversal. I guess the “Palin effect” doesn’t work on people who think with their brains. Consider:
An Ipsos/McClatchy poll found that Gov. Sarah Palin’s performance in last week’s vice presidential debate actually hurt her running mate, Sen. John McCain, among undecided voters.
Before the debate, undecided voters were leaning 56% to 44% for McCain. The day after the debate, the numbers tilted 52% to 48% for Sen. Barack Obama.
Said pollster Clifford Young: “It’s suggesting an overall tendency of undecideds toward Obama, so it is significant. We’re catching an underlying trend that’s going on.“
The poll also found that Sen. Joe Biden won the debate, 54% to 46%.
Very good news. Expect the McCain campaign’s attacks to become more and more unhinged as Obama’s lead widens.
