(Reuters) - Voters say that President Barack Obama performed better than Republican rival Mitt Romney by a substantial margin in their second debate, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Wednesday.

Forty-eight percent of registered voters gave the victory to Obama, while 33 percent say Romney prevailed in the Tuesday debate, the online poll found.

The poll reflects the broad consensus of debate observers who said Obama's forceful approach gave him the upper hand over Romney, who was widely seen as the victor in their first matchup on October 3.

There is no doubt in my mind that what you described is exactly what happened. Stevens was to be kidnapped, similar to what happened in Iran in 1979. But the ending was going to be very different. The Fraud was going to broker a deal and emerge the hero. Of course the “tense” negotiations would take at least 3 - 4 weeks and be resolved a few weeks before the election.

The security requests were ignored, so as to make the abduction go smoothly. When the Seals showed up and started firing on the abductors and the crowd, all hell broke loose and Stevens and the others ended up dead.

This is a very disturbed and evil human being trying to remain in power, desperate to continue feeding his inflated image of himself and his place in history. The last two democrap Presidents have been mentally unstable, both suffering from the same disorder, compulsive narcissistic personality disorder.

I pray one day the truth comes out and the American people know that the death of these 4 men was an accident, a plot to save this bozos presidency gone wrong.

Slightly related. This debate got me thinking. It’s amazing that Obamacare will take over health care as we know it, yet there is NO press coverage telling us what is going to happen to us.

Similar to $4 gas being the end of the world in 08 and the "new normal" in 12.

I found it remarkable, and hopeful, young and middle-aged African-American coworkers were quietly talking about the debate today and there was a sense Obama had not won despite “everyone” saying so in the media.
