"There is enormous frustration among Democrats who wanted to see a much more aggressive approach" by the president, Robert Zimmerman, an Obama fundraiser, said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal.
Obama was described as “looking like he didn’t want to be there” while Romney seized the moment.
Two-thirds of people who watched the first presidential debate think that Republican nominee Mitt Romney won the showdown, according to a CNN/ORC Survey. No candidate for President of the US had ever scored above 60 percent prior to last night’s debate.
