Quick survey by CBS looks good for Edwards



CBS "instapoll" results, from 200 undecided voters nationwide:

"Who won?"

Edwards: 42 percent

Cheney: 29 percent

tie: 29 percent

"Debate improved your opinion of the candidate?"

Cheney: 29 percent, opinion improved

Edwards: 58 percent, opinion improved

And perhaps the most telling statistic of the quick survey, in light of moderator Gwen Ifill's question to Edwards regarding his qualifications to be within a "heartbeat" of the top job: 24 percent of the undecided voters polled by CBS apparently said that they were "scared" of the idea of Dick Cheney as president.
