****
Democracy Corps, which has been conducting the most extensive 
post-debate surveys, using larger and more representative national 
samples than the other public polls, finds John Kerry a solid winner 
<http://www.democracycorps.com/reports/surveys/Democracy_Corps_October_8_2nd_Presidential_Debate_Release.pdf>in 
last night's debate. Here are their key findings:

· Kerry wins debate by 8 points (45 to 37 percent).

· Kerry moves up his vote margin over Bush by 2 points.

· Kerry makes significant gains in personal favorability.

· Kerry made his biggest gains on likeability, giving people confidence, 
and having clear plans.

· Kerry won especially strongly in the swing electorate -- independents, 
the undecided, and battleground state voters.
