CNN seems to be reporting completely different. Imagine that!

Poll: Biden wins debate, Palin exceeds expectations

(CNN) – A national poll of people who watched the vice presidential debate suggests that Democratic Sen. Joe Biden won but also hints that Republican Gov. Sarah Palin exceeded expectations.

The CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey is not a measurement of the views of all Americans, since only people who watched the debate were questioned.

Watch: 'The most important election,' Biden says

Fifty-one percent of those polled thought Biden did the best job in Thursday night's debate, while 36 percent thought Palin did the best job.

But respondents said the folksy Palin was more likable, scoring 54 percent to Biden's 36 percent.

Watch: 'We will fight for America,' Palin says

Both candidates exceeded expectations — 84 percent of the people polled said Palin did a better job than they expected, while 64 percent said Biden also exceeded expectations.

But on the question of the candidates' qualifications to assume the presidency, 87 percent of the people polled said Biden is qualified while only 42 percent said Palin is qualified.

Biden's running mate, Sen. Barack Obama, was also selected as a winner in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation about the presidential debate last week.

I honestly did not know that.

I guess you could argue that CNN is the most TRUSTED, though...which is maybe the more important of the 2.

It was a phone/text poll, JUST LIKE THE CNN POLL also cited on this forum. As FOXNEWS is , by far, the most watched cable news network, "only Republicans" voting out of more than a million is unlikely.
Tell yourself whatever you need to.

I've asked this to other posters that have posted that Fox is the most watched news station on cable, and yet still claim media bias. How can it be so bad on media bias towards the left, when the #1 news station on cable, with astronomical ratings is so blatantly biased for the right?

Except that CNN is the only entity claiming that., about THEMSELVES. FOX doesn't give itself ratings. Sorry.

This whole post is histerical.

No no no no. The CNN Poll was a random properly conducted poll. A text/call in poll means nothing.

This what republicans had to say about Fox News Text poll when Ron Paul was cleaning up:

Why debating on FOX is smart.

Is there any wonder? Fox News has exclusively been in the Palin camps since the end of the debate. First at the after Palin debate party, now Wasilla, AK.

How about showing a battleground state?
