Palin's post-debate bounce

Taegan Goddard at Political Wire reports that the VP debate pushed undecided voters to Obama

An Ipsos/McClatchy poll found that Gov. Sarah Palin's performance in last week's vice presidential debate actually hurt her running mate, Sen. John McCain, among undecided voters.

Before the debate, undecided voters were leaning 56% to 44% for McCain. The day after the debate, the numbers tilted 52% to 48% for Sen. Barack Obama.

Said pollster Clifford Young: "It's suggesting an overall tendency of undecideds toward Obama, so it is significant. We're catching an underlying trend that's going on."

The poll also found that Sen. Joe Biden won the debate, 54% to 46%.

So she managed to bounce Johnny Mac downward in the polls with all that winkin', nose crinklin', and folksiness.  DARN good job, Sarah!
