CBS Poll: 65% Say Romney Won Debate on the Economy

October 16, 2012 By Daniel Greenfield 1 Comment

This is from a CBS poll of uncommitted voters.

And remember, for most voters, the economy is what matters and it’s the issue that they vote on. It’s why Romney kept bringing questions over to jobs. This election will not be won on foreign policy, much as it matters.

In the @cbsnews Instant Poll, 65% say Romney won on the issue of the economy. 34% say Obama won on the economy.

That's not that the poll said. "Before the debate, 71 percent said they believed Romney would, while only 27 percent said they thought Obama would; after the debate, 34 percent said the president would better handle the economy, with 65 percent saying Romney would." http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-250_162-57533850/poll…
