4:19Now Playing"Two instant polls conducted after Monday night's presidential debate place President Obama in the winner's circle, though the scale of his victory varied depending on the topic.
Overall, according to a CBS News poll, respondents ruled in favor of Obama over Mitt Romney, 53% to 23%, with 24% saying it was a tie. In a CNN poll, 48% said they favored Obama, compared with 40% for Romney.
Obama's performance in the debate apparently came as a surprise to many in CNN's poll, with 59% saying that the president exceeded their expectations. Forty-four percent said the same about Romney.
That said, there was little success for Obama in bringing voters over to his side, according to CNN's polling. Twenty-four percent of respondents said they were more likely to vote for Obama after the debate. About the same, 25%, said they were now leaning toward Romney."* Cenk Uygur brings us poll results from several sources and what CNN and other press outlets are choosing to ignore.
