instapolling debate tracker

Quick - where can I find an instapolling graph online that tracks audience response to the debates? You know, the ones where someone cranks a dial up as they agree and down when they don't?

Best answer: CNN is running a live graph with Ohio uncommitted voter's responses.

NPR is doing one here based on their twitter dialtest here.

I found the live graph on CNN after reading this, and all I could tell from it is that those Ohio uncommitted voters don't have very strong feelings about much of anything.

I'll be posting one shortly for Democracy Corps at their site... As soon as it finishes uploading.

Best answer: Well its a bit late now, but cnn.com has live graphs with a bunch of different demographic breakdowns - Rep, Dem and Ind, male and female, earns <5>50k.

So next debate, go to cnn.com and bring up their live stream. On the right side of the window, click "voters rate the performances". This will refresh the video stream, and add the graphs as an overlay.
