No worries, Joe wins the debate, but looses the election.

To the uninformed, it is easy to see why they think Biden won.

But Biden is a prick, and now everyone knows it.

This CNBC number is strange.

Even Yahoo, which is solidly center-left, came in at 50% - 50%, with 130,000 votes.

This should explain it Ryan was in the lead originally

this is strange — on CNN’s snap poll, it was 48% for Ryan and 44% for Biden — and CNN said it was “a statistical tie”

COMpost and NBC think Biden won. Big deal. Their readers are all Maoists anyway. We got CNN. Freakin’ CNN went for Ryan, and all I’m hearing is about Biden’s grin. :D

No need to start hand-wringing, people. We’re good.

To me it looked like Ryan by a nose, because Biden was smirking and was put down a couple of times.

was watching CNN this morning (hey i’m out of the country — only have CNN or BBC as choices) and a leftist said it was a tie (after he said “...even if, God forbid, the Republicans win...”).

It is, technically - within their margin of error.

Re: “CNN Statistical Tie”

Less than 400 people polled.

Margin of Error - plus or minus 5%

Bidens smirking and insane looking smiles made him look crazy and nasty. I don’t think he won at all.

The snippets on the morning CNBC broadcast make Biden look like he is off his meds. I hope that is the general takeaway.

Sure the CNBC number is strange. It allowed you to to vote multiple times (clear out cookies each time), and the KOS kids invaded it like we FReep polls. It`s absolutely without validity.

You guys put waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much stock into the vote as much as you want internet polls. They are not a bit scientific and are mostly designed to get hits to websites or viewers.

Seriously. I’m always surprised how much space is taken up on this site with threads about some online meaningless poll to Freep or whatever.

Not picking on you but these are just polls are nothing. Again mainly designed to get hits to websites or give the hosts on these shows something to yap about.

CNN had an actual real poll done of RV who watched the debate and Ryan won 48 to 44
