Polls looking like Obama took round 1. Gallup has it at 50-42 in its three day rolling (with only one day being post-debate).
In retrospect, the policies of the two are well known so particular lines or arguments did not sway much.
What might've really helped Obama was, even if his policies aren't lock step with everybody's, he looked ready to be Commander in Chief, which was a big concern for some independents. He was calm, well spoken, spoke in detail and had a vision. He didn't look like he could NOT handle the job despite McCain's desire to paint him as such. So, if you remove that 'fear factor', Obama represents a change from Bush-McCain's foreign policy of nation-building and domestic policy of focusing on the upper crust, which agree with or not, the nation is tired of.
