The ups or downs in the polling numbers won't show up for a few days, so don't expect to much, if any, change in Saturdays polling.
However, CBS News did a poll of undecided voters and this is what they came up with.
40% of uncommitted voters who watched the debate tonight thought Barack Obama was the winner. 22% thought John McCain won. 38% saw it as a draw.
68% of these voters think Obama would make the right decision
about the economy. 41% think McCain would.49% of these voters think Obama would make the right decisions about Iraq. 55% think McCain would.
It was a very interesting debate so far as those things go. I was really surprised that McCain was on the ball, so far as that goes. Obama did let McCain get away with a few things such as his statement that he always has supported our Vets. we all know better than that based on his voting record with Vet issues and funding.
Obama presented himself well and did have his act together. I say tie game, which is not a good thing for McCain.
UPDATE: Wall Street Journal Poll on the first debate.
