Barack Obama Wins Debate & Gains Popularity

After the first Presidential Debate this past Friday evening, many of us were eager to see who would come out as the victor, not only regarding the debates, but to see the surge in popularity afterward. What we see from the latest polls is that Barack Obama not only won the debates, but has now gained an eight point lead over McCain in the latest Gallup Poll.

"Barack Obama leads John McCain, 50% to 42% among registered voters in the latest Gallup Poll Daily tracking update for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday -- just one point shy of his strongest showing of the year."



In another Gallup poll, released by ABC News, when asked which candidate offered the best proposals to solve the country's problems, 52% said Barack Obama and 35% chose McCain.

Many Americans were impressed with Barack Obama during the debates, while McCain came off as grumpy, negative, and repeating the same old tired Bush plans as what America needs.
