Who Won the 2nd Presidential Debate: Romney or Obama?

538 vote - Governor Mitt Romney, Republican
293 vote - President Barack Obama, Democrat

The second debate saw the recovery of President Barack Obama, but Governor Mitt Romney did not let up on his attacks on the Obama Administration's last four years. Obama was far more engaged, but playing defense throughout the discussion.

The debate was far more aggresive and pointed.

Who won this debate?

Obama won. He was much more focused and aggressive than in Denver. Romney made his points, but since it was mostly the second time around for them, they seemed to land a little less effectively against Obama. I did not think it was a blowout for Obama, as the PBS commentators I was watching seemed to think. I'll say 55/45 for Obama.

Neither of them won but, once again, we the voters lost. I pray for either President Obama or Gov. Romney to please, PLEASE give us a Will McAvoy (HBOs Newsroom: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJWKccHQFOA) response to any substantive question in the third and final debate that's as brutally blunt and honest as it can be. Until one of them does that, all they are doing is reciting, in a variety of ways, their campaign talking points.

Hello, my fellow American voters!
I watched the Oct. 3rd and Oct. 16th presidential and Oct. 11th vice-presidential debates.
1st Romney-Obama debate covered 7 topics: jobs; budget deficit/debt; social security/entitlements; federal regulation of economy; healthcare; federal government role in economy; partisan gridlock.
2nd Romney-Obama debate covered 11 topics: college graduate jobs; gas prices; taxes; equal pay; Bush policies; Obama’s record; illegal immigrants; Libya; assault weapons; jobs; candidate misperceptions.
Ryan-Biden debate covered 10 topics: Libya; Iran; economy; medicare/social security/entitlements; taxes/tax reform/spending/budget cuts; military policy; Afghanistan; Syria; abortion; negative campaign tactics.
As an INDEPENDENT, I support the Romney/Ryan ticket.
Romney and Ryan won all three debates, although Obama improved some in the 2nd debate.
Ryan won despite Biden’s consistently rude/disrespectful behavior during the debate
(Biden interrupted Ryan often, laughed often while Ryan was talking, pointed his finger often).
Biden’s tactics to evade issues/truth were disrespectful to Americans interested in facts, figures, forecasts, and solutions for real people with real problems.
Romney and Ryan won with substance, directness, integrity, respect, clarity, facts, commitment, inspiration, and leadership.
These debates confirm that Romney and Ryan are the best persons in terms of qualifications and character to lead our country to solve problems and make life better for all Americans.
I am inspired by Romney/Ryan, and I hope that you are too!
Best regards,
Cas Lee

GoLocalProv poll: 65% Romney, 35% Obama...what gives? Something is wrong with this poll or maybe somebody tampered with it.
