Did Barack Obama Make a Comeback During Last Night’s Debate? (Take the Poll)

Did Barack Obama Make a Comeback During Last Nights Debate?

It was clear that President Barack Obama could not afford any repeat of his lackluster first debate on Tuesday night. With Mitt Romney making steady advances in the polls, the president needed to use their second head-to-head to reverse the dispassionate image he set two weeks ago.

How did he do? Here’s a roundup of what some of the media are saying:

Stopped the bleeding…

NBC “Meet the Press” moderator David Gregory:

“I think liberals can breathe a sigh of relief. It’s not curtains for the president. He showed up and showed up big tonight. He was more aggressive; he had a lot of fight in him.”

New York Times news analysis:

Whether it will decisively reroute the course of the campaign remains to be seen, but the president emerged from the encounter having settled nerves within his panicky party and claiming a new chance to frame the race with just three weeks left.

Los Angeles Times news analysis:

“Obama is back in the fight.”

Washington Post:

There is likely to be a boost in enthusiasm among Obama loyalists, and that’s not insignificant. Given that some parts of his coalition, young voters in particular, are not as motivated as they were four years ago, that jolt of energy could be important. Obama advisers know that turning out their voters will be harder for them than it will be for Romney’s team.

…but no knockout punch

Politico:

Obama seemed to come out ahead in the second debate, though not by the emphatic margin that Romney did in the first. Going forward, this outcome probably helps reset the race and steer the national conversation away from theater criticism toward more substantive closing arguments.

Washington Post:

Obama’s performance wasn’t flawless and he didn’t score a clean win as Romney did in the first debate. But, he was the better performer this time around.

ABC News analysis:

President Obama’s job was to rev up his flagging base and convince wavering supporters that he actually wants another term. And, he accomplished that with his aggressive performance….Even so, his win is not going to upend the race in the way that Romney’s success at the Denver debate did. Ultimately, this debate is likely to stop what was turning into snowballing momentum for Romney, but we won’t see a similar post-DNC convention surge for Obama either.

So the question becomes, did Obama make a comeback Tuesday night? We pose it to you.

  Yes, but he did make a comeback as I said he would. In that he set the bar so low in the first debate he could only rise from there. These people aren’t dumb like so many think they are.

  I never click on that poll above lately, because it only deceives because so many multitudes think to themselves “What do other people click” before they themselves click on it. In a society where people tell other people what they want to hear, polls are just deceiving.

  He is a loser but you can’t argue you couldn’t do worse than his first debate. And according to the media, because he did better, he automatically won. When your standard is so low it isn’t hard to do better.

  I have to confess I didn’t watch the debate to save me from the stress. I recorded it tough and followed the post-debate comments. I therefore won’t give my opinion on which candidate I think won or lost. But despite whatever the media and the polls say, the death threats against Mitt Romney in the social media speak loud about Obama’s performance and the fear liberals have of Obama loosing this election.
  I only pray God to protect Romney and Ryan and his families. No threat should be taken lightly.

  The Luntz non-partisan focus group assessed the debate better than ANY of the journalists, including Fos News.
  
  They rightly observed that Obama spent much of his time defending his position against a plethora of valid charges all of which revealed him and his administration to be totally incompetent.
  
  This silly measure the press uses to guage debate wins or losses based on how vigorous or aggressive a candidate is is purely nonsense. Using that method, the childish, immature candidate would be a winner everytime, just like Joe Biden who was a complete disaster.
  
  But that’s what radical leftist pundits are all about: Childishness and immaturity, living in a silly fantasy world of their own making.
  
  Obama looked trerribly gaunt, frail-looking, almost anemic, and his facial expressions had him looking really weird and unattractive.
  
  He came across to me as a brown lizard.

  My main problem with Obama is economy and jobs and he’s going to blah – blah. Well he has had 4 years to take care of them and he blew them off as unimportant. His first 2 years with control of both houses and the only thing to show for it is Obama care that no one wanted. We had the best healthcare in the world and if it anin’t broke don’t fix it. Just think how many jobs would have been produced id he had threw that kind of energy on jobs as he did on Obama care.

  Obama is covering up a political assassination of our own ambassador in Libya, he must have known something they didn’t want told. Our intelligence people should be looking for that information, not that you will ever know it. No one, even this administration, is dumb enough to pull all the security of an embassy in a war zone. This went down according to plan, our plan.

  He took a page from Biden and looked angry. He was mean spirited and condesending. This is not the way a president should act. Romney more than held his own-Obama could do nothing more than lie. People are delusional if they think it was a comeback of any sorts-I actually think it sealed the race for Mitt Romney.

  I would have liked this poll to ask about his demeanor. I thought he was arrogant and bullying.like when he said”please proceed governor” and when he was saying he called it a terror attack in the rose garden. A flat out lie because he was talking then about terror attacks in general. So if your going to lie for weeks about Libya then have Clinton bite the bullet(why did she?) but still no one says why they lied for 2 weeks. We dont need a deceiver in office any longer.

  Obama was more agressive and alert, but all I heard was a lot more rhetoric on the same things he has been doing. Romney was very strong with facts and figures and Obama cannot deny his record or the facts. One thing that really did disgust me was the lie he told about the Benghazi attack. Candy Crowley really went over the line with helping him by saying he was correct. Of course she corrected herself, but it was after the debate was over. Considering the one-sidedness of the media and the moderators, I am surprised that Romney has not been called the anti-christ. I thought he did a marvelous job especially when he said, “We don’t have to settle for this.”

  Out of curiosity, is there any way to know about who the moderator for the next debate is? I’m not sure what qualifications are needed (Candy Crowley shows the standards aren’t very high) so I can’t really guess. I’m new to politics, so I don’t know for sure, but from what I can guess, we’ll only be finding out when the next “bipartisan” moderator is.
  
  Romney’s gotta hit the next one out of the part. Praying that Romney stays the gentleman he is in his debate with an angry child, and eloquently grinds him to dust in a polite, but forceful way. At least so it reflects the first debate and has him looking away (loved when he did that, but Candy kept butting in when he made a point. Who picks these people anyway???)

With that said the progressive dumbocrats seem to want to spin him acting like the symbol of their party as a debate win.

  Candy Crowly should be flogged.That ignorant commi cow has no clue what she’s talking bout. I have the transcripts of what Commi-obami said in the White House garden and he never said one thing about this Bengasi attack being a terrorist attack at all. He was speaking in general terms about the 9/11/2001 attacks. Candy Crowly lied through her stinking teeth right along with obama. she showed her true colors and real intentions by defending obama the way she did. there were several incedents of crowly not allowing Romney to finish his statements or give rebuttal to Commi obamis claims. Pure political bias on that slags part. Romney did a good old fashioned beat down on the POS obama and his lies.

  Obama did worse even though he won by a small margin of points.
  
  Hitting with more lies than Romney could address but most viewers already knew were lies will be Obama’s undoing. Since he lied more this time than the 1st time I have to conclude he did worse even if he did score more points. There’s more to a debate than scoring more points. It’s the way you do it as well and how transparent the effort! He may have won the battle but history may show he (Obama) may have lost the war.
  
  Even though I plan on voting Romney I think not only am I being objective in stating he did worse but the dayly poll increase for Romney (IE: 52 R, 45 O) seem to underscore this gut feel as well.

I wish the Blaze would get Romney to come on and debate an empty chair and ask him the really hard questions. Then e-mail the same questions to 0 and see if he would even respond. I did get on line here at the Blaze and enjoyed reading all the Blaze comments and questions live during the debate, that was fun. Thanks Blaze.

Though biased, Crowley did let Mitt run over to somewhat finish a point the second she actually stood up to argue the O’s Benghazi schlock, cost points.

Libs keep saying the plans of Mitt have no details. Gheeze… He didn’t do nothing but give details. O has no substance or none of the above. I don’t get how you can not see through the smoke and flowery rhetoric.

  Is it not amazing that in America of all countries where BS used to be called out without hesitation, that a man can implement a Marxist agenda whilst never being labeled as such??? It’s literally astounding.

  DORA GASBAG…what’s it like? No really…what’s it like demanding the country re-elect a man who has presided over the largest underemployment rate since WWII where more Americans have given up looking for work in more than 6 decades? What’s it like demanding the country re-elect a man who’s added more to the debt and deficit than the men who preceded him? How much hurt do you think the American people deserve? Seriously…

  @ DORA GASBAGBERG
  Um…..just so you know,the moderator’s name was CANDY Crowley not ANN Crowley.
  Please stay abreast.
  But I am glad you agree with others here that President Barry Dunham borders on the pathological with his prevarications.
  Again…,to Remember…,Candy not Ann.

  I agree, Romney was exposed for the non-presidential liar that he is.

I think Obama was able to keep from slipping in the polls but he did not make up any ground. To anyone that knows the facts, he lied on several fronts throughout this debate.

Romney won that debate

RR 3
OB 0

One more debate

Thank you President Romney

  SamIamTwo – I totally agree, this strategy will keep them talking about Libya for two more weeks. That sounds like a great plan. Besides the fact that he didn’t attack him has all the pundits are out there saying he should have said this or that only gives him fuel for the real deal next week.

O is what O is, he did do more ducken and jiven and avoiding any answers of consequences. His track record is so bad I don’t know how he can show his face at all.

Yeah, He came back to life because someone obviously tweaked his meds. The guy admitted being a pot head and a cocaine freak. How do we know that he quit those habits. I know that others don’t seem to be able to just stop. Most go on to lay in a ditch until they discover the only way out is through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ who puts broken pots back together.

  I mentioned the same thing to my husband during the debate that he seemed chemically influenced.

Obama showed up to the debate but his only weapons were/are the weapons of words and very little substance. He can’t run on his record, so he can only proselytize End of story – end of his Presidency. If he gets 4 more years – God help us all.

Showed why he has kept Biden the Blowhard as VP. They probably sleep in a bunk bed together and sneak out to tp the neighbors house and light flaming bags of dog doo. They are immature and couldn’t run a paper route. Embarrassing choice America made in 2008, Putin was probably laughing his butt off, if it wasn’t so serious for him. Romney will be a strong Commander in Chief vs Komondor in chief. Look it up Komondor

Considering how badly he did during the last debate there was no way he could have done worse.

This time he overcompensated and interrupted just as badly as Biden did.

Mitt Romney was Presidential.

Barack Obama kept his Community Organizer title.

Most are onto Obama’s lies. I think it will be a slam dunk for Romney. He needs to win both the electoral vote and the popular vote. Why? So the hateful ones won’t steal it!

I think once we get past the MSM media spin, we’lll continue to see Romney breaking into the leads in the polls.

  Did it concern anyone that Candy Crowley had a transcript of Obama’s speech in the Rose Garden? What brought that on??????
