This doesn’t come as much of a shock, but the widely held attitude that Mitt Romney trounced President Obama in the first of their three debates extended deep into the world of video games. Xbox Live users who watched the tête-à-tête over Microsoft’s streaming service felt that the former Massachusetts governor performed far better than the incumbent.

When Microsoft employees showed off their new polling model earlier this week, Obama held a commanding 51 percent to 38 percent lead over Romney among Xbox users, with the remainder either undecided or leaning toward third-party candidates. During the debate, however, the undecided voters went heavily for Romney, while Obama’s baseline support eroded as the president presented flat, unexciting arguments.

About 30 percent of participants self-identified as undecided or leaning toward a candidate, according to Microsoft. “We asked 10 questions during the debate to gauge who won exchanges or segments, and we found that ‘undecideds’ broke for Romney while Obama consistently lost support from his base,” an Xbox spokesperson wrote in an email.

Nine out of 10 times, Romney exceeded his baseline support, while Obama fell below his eight out of 10 times. And while the spokesperson did not give the exact number of Xbox users who were participating in the realtime poll, it far exceeded the 10,000 users who have been participating in the video-game system’s daily polling.

Moreover, people who watched the debate on Xbox Live’s politics channel are among the most likely to head to the polls on Election Day. Eighty-eight percent of respondents to Wednesday night’s questions are likely voters, the spokesperson said.
