POLL: Who Won the Second Presidential Debate?

Obama's performance was widely panned after the first debate. What did you think of the two candidates tonight?

Voters nationwide tuned in tonight to the second presidential debate between Democratic President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney.

The town-hall style debate started at 6 p.m. Pacific Time. It largely featured questions from voters in the audience, with Moderator and CNN political correspondent Candy Crawley asking a few of her own, too.     

Obama was under pressure from Democrats to improve on his performance in the first debate, which many called lackluster. Romney was looking to grow the momentum he received after that debate.
