美總統(tǒng)候選人二次辯論 民調顯示奧巴馬再獲勝

Polls show Obama winner of U.S. presidential debate

A new poll suggests Wednesday that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama won the second U.S. presidential debate with Republican opponent John McCain Tuesday night in Nashville, Tenn.

Fifty-four percent of those questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey conducted after the debate ended said that Obama did the best job in the debate, with 30 percent saying John McCain performed better.

A majority, 54 percent, said Obama seemed to be the stronger leader during the debate, to 43 percent for McCain.

By a greater than two to one margin -- 65 percent to 28 percent-- viewers thought Obama was more likeable during the debate.

"Obama had made some gains on the leadership issue even before the debate," said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.

"McCain's advantage on leadership shrunk from 19 points in September to just five points this weekend. If Obama can use this debate to convince Americans that he is a stronger leader than McCain, he may be difficult to defeat."

A majority of debate watchers polled thought Obama was more intelligent, by a 57 percent to 25 percent margin over McCain.
Twice as many debate watchers also thought Obama more clearly expressed than McCain, with 60 percent giving the nod to the Democratic nominee and 30 percent to his GOP opponent.

美國有關機構８日發(fā)布的民調結果顯示，電視觀眾認為民主黨總統(tǒng)候選人奧巴馬在７日晚辯論中的表現勝過共和黨對手麥凱恩。這意味著奧巴馬在今年大選總共３場總統(tǒng)候選人辯論中已取得“二連勝”。

美國有線電視新聞網在辯論后對電視觀眾進行的調查顯示，５４％的人認為奧巴馬勝出，３０％的人認為麥凱恩獲勝。對奧巴馬和麥凱恩持有好感的人分別為６４％和５１％。６５％的人認為奧巴馬在辯論中顯得更有親和力，而認為麥凱恩有親和力的人僅為２８％。

哥倫比亞廣播公司對尚未拿定主意支持哪位候選人的選民進行的調查表明，認為奧巴馬和麥凱恩獲勝的人分別為４０％和２６％，另有３４％的人認為兩人不分上下。

奧巴馬和麥凱恩７日晚在田納西州納什維爾市貝爾蒙特大學舉行第２場辯論，雙方就經濟、醫(yī)療保健、能源以及外交政策進行激烈交鋒。此前兩人在９月２６日舉行了首場辯論，民調顯示奧巴馬獲勝。最后一場辯論將于本月１５日舉行。自美國發(fā)生金融風暴以來，奧巴馬擴大了對麥凱恩的民調支持率優(yōu)勢。隨著美國大選投票日的臨近，雙方加強了彼此攻擊的力度。
