Gallup: Mitt’s debate win biggest in history

By Around the Web

(FOX NEWS) National polling released Monday continues to demonstrate an apparent Mitt Romney surge, with the Republican nominee at least pulling even with President Obama — and in one poll shooting past him — on the heels of what Gallup deemed the biggest debate victory in recorded history.

New Gallup numbers show registered voters overwhelmingly considered Romney the winner of the debate in Denver. Seventy-two percent gave Romney the win, while 20 percent said Obama did the better job. Gallup reported the 52-point victory is the biggest the polling firm has ever measured — the closest was Bill Clinton’s 42-point win over George H.W. Bush in a 1992 debate.

The sentiment appeared to have big implications for Romney’s national standing.
