Instant Gratification Polls re: The Debate

Two quickie instant-gratification (and somewhat partisan) reactions to the debate:

1) A Democracy Corps (Carville and Shrum's shop) survey shows Kerry "winning" the debate: "The Democratic candidate achieved major gains across the board on personal favorability, the security issues that dominated the debate, and key leadership attributes."

2) Even FoxNews essentially hands it to Kerry: "After the first round of the 2004 presidential debates, surrogates for both President Bush and Sen. John Kerry came out to declare victory while post-debate "flash" polls gave the edge to the Democratic challenger."
