Washington - Democratic challenger John Kerry won the first televised presidential debate against Republican President George Bush on Thursday night, according to instant polls released after the event.

A Gallup poll for CNN gave Kerry a 46 percent to 37 percent win over the president.

It added that 46 percent of those asked now have a better opinion of Kerry against 21 percent for Bush.

The CBS network, which asked 200 voters, said 44 percent gave victory to Kerry against 26 percent who thought the president had the upper hand. Thirty percent said neither candidate won.

An ABC poll of 531 people gave 45 percent for Kerry, 36 percent for Bush and 17 percent for a draw.

But the survey said Bush still had the support of 51 percent of voters for the November 2 election against 47 percent for Kerry. - Sapa-AFP

1. Some of the idiots are coming around.........................

"But the survey said Bush still had the support of 51 percent of voters for the November 2 election against 47 percent for Kerry".

That's a step in the right direction. Polls had Kerry down by double digits before this "debate". After Kerry mops the floor with Bush in the other 2 debates Kerry will be in the lead, right when it counts. Just before the election.
