By DONOVAN SLACK | Politico.com, 10/16/12 11:34 PM EDT

Instant polls by CNN and CBS both found that President Obama came out ahead of Mitt Romney in the second presidential debate.

CNN surveyed registered voters and found that 46 percent thought Obama won, while 39 percent thought Romney won.

A CBS instant poll of undecided voters found 37 percent gave the advantage to Obama, while 30 percent sided with Romney. The remainder -- 33 percent -- thought it was a tie, according to CBS' Mark Knoller.

A majority of CBS' respondents -- 56 percent -- said Obama would do a better job helping the middle class, compared to 43% who said they believe Romney would. But on who would handle the economy better, Romney came out ahead, 65 percent to 34 percent.

...and according to Gallup on 10/18, Romney's lead is now 7% and he's over the 50% threshold and in the lead for the first time in the electoral college.

But, hey, Obama won the second debate! Good job, Mr President!!
