A.
1) This survey asked voters who they think will "win" the second presidential debate, how personally critical each presidential candidate acted against the other, whether Ryan or Biden did better during the vice-presidential debate, and the likeliness that voters will watch the next debate.
2) Each candidate could use the results of this survey to determine how his tone was interpreted by the American audience. Obama can see that over time voters see him as more personally critical, however less people still see him as personally critical, as compared to Romney. The candidates can reflect on how they feel they behaved during the debate, and how the voters felt.
3) The survey indicates how, compared to the same survey conducted after the McCain/Obama, Kerry/Bush, Gore/Bush, etc. debates, "no Republican candidate has been viewed as less personally critical of their opponent than Romney is today." This shows how the Republican party is generally more aggressive and personally critical at debates. If Romney wants to specifically target the Republican party, perhaps he should be more forthright and critical of Obama.
B.
1) PEW.5 (And) Do you think Barack Obama has been too personally critical of Mitt Romney, or not?
2) Based on the question about Obama being too personally critical, the results showed that each Democratic candidate became more and more personally critical with each of the three debates. Between mid-March 2004 and September 2004, the numbers for Kerry went up from 48-52. From June 2008 to October 2012, Obama's numbers went up from 19-35. There is definitely a change over time here, for Kerry's numbers were initially much higher than Obama's.
3) The question is fairly unbiased. The question could be changed to : "Do you think Obama's fiery attacks and blatant lies against Romney make him more personally critical?" to make it more biased.
C.
1) The survey was conducted October 12-14, 2012.
2) The total sample size was 1,006 adults 18 years or older living in the continental United States.
3) The margin of error was plus or minus 3.7%
4) There was a 97& confidence level
