Gallup Poll Results of Presidential Debate #2

I just checked the Gallup polls for the two candidates' current standing and found that they also did a poll to gauge people's views as to who won the second presidential debate. The results are interesting -- take a look. Gallup says they have been doing these post-debate polls since 1960 and that this is one of the most decisive polls they've ever measured, similar in margin to the ones done in 1992 and 1996, both in Bill Clinton's favor.

Gallup has now started doing daily election polls (instead of their previous weekly polls) and today, Barack Obama has a 52% to 41% lead over John McCain. This refers to their general standing among voters, not to peoples' reactions to the debate.
