First Post-Debate Presidential Poll

From Newsweek Oct 3, 2004, a poll of 1,013 registered voters.

These numbers are from the first post-debate poll. (The photo they are using of Bush is a little merciless.)

It's odd to me that they report the results in prose, with the margin of error in a footnote. I think a reader could absorb the same information, more accurately, more memorably, and an order of magnitude faster in the above format.
