Dick Cheney
John Edwards
Neither man. It was a draw
Fox http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,134486,00.html
NOTE: As with last week's post-debate poll, this was not attached to the main story about the poll, but to Greta van Susteren's section of the website.
Who won Tuesday night's vice presidential debate?
a. Vice President Cheney (46%) 79,128
b. Senator Edwards (52%) 89,091
c. I did not watch (1%) 1,201
d. None of the above (1%) 903
170,323 total votes
ABC http://www.abcnews.go.com/wire/Politics/ap20041006_499.html
NOTE: ABC doesn't have an online poll. Instead, they posted results of a "survey [that] was conducted by telephone Tuesday night among a random-sample panel of 509 registered voters who watched the presidential debate. The results have a 4.5-point error margin. Sampling, data collection and tabulation were done by TNS of Horsham, Pa." But the sample was skewed: 38% were Republicans, 31% Democrats, the rest "independents". Here are the results anyhow, FYI:
