The people have spoken, Barack Obama is still US’ President – well, the people using Xbox Live says he is, anyway.

The third and final presidential debate concluded Monday night. And though many in the Twitter-sphere lost interest compared to the first debate, more than 100,000 Xbox Live members tuned in.  About 30,000 to 35,000 respondents eagerly participated in the online poll, giving nearly 3 million individual answers to 130 questions.

According to the poll, of the 2,500 or 11.1 percent of undecided voters who participated, 56 percent said they favored Obama, 14 percent favored Romney, and 31 percent said the debate was a draw.  Among swing voters, only 5 percent of Obama leaners declared Governor Romney the winner, while 27 percent of Romney leaners said Obama won.

Of the pre-debate undecided voters, 39 percent leaned towards Obama by the end of the debate, while only 18 percent favored Romney.  As for crisis situation and handling, 40 percent of undecided voters stated that Obama would be better while 17 percent voted for Romney.

The gloves came off during the last debate, with both candidates throwing zingers at each other, Obama’s comments on foreign policy and military funding being one of the most memorable.

It was back in August that news came out about Microsoft’s partnership with several marketing and polling research companies such as Rock the Vote; YouGov, a market research firm; Face the Facts USA, a nonpartisan coalition; and NBC News, to be able to bring polling at the hands of Xbox Live users.  And before the presidential debates started, Microsoft had already started to promote questions about the debate.  The new polling platform was experienced by Xbox Live users during the October 3 Presidential debate, which was very popular because of Governor Romney’s Big Bird mention.

But because of the hype, a lot of users experienced crashes and weren’t too happy about Microsoft’s platform, but it seems things have been ironed out, as the third debate poll went quite well.

Microsoft’s polling platform may seem to come in handy only during elections to get the pulse of the people/voters, but I think the software company would probably make use of it in other special events, maybe during the next Super Bowl?
