feel free to prove me wrong, but the two polls I can remember off the top of my head were CNN 67 to 25 and CBS 44 to 21. I remember seeing more, but I don't remember the exact numbers. I just remember that Romney was considered the winner by at least a 2 to 1 margin in all of them.

try almost 4 to 1...it was the biggest debate win in history

According to Gallup, Republicans gave him a 95% win over Obama, Independents picked him, 70%-19%, and even Democrats thought Romney won, 49%-39%.
The problem, is that your link has republicans, liberals, and undecided voters as evenly split thirds. That is why these numbers don't add up. the undecided are like 12% of voters.

are you confusing independent voters with undecided voters? Because democrats, republicans, and independents do make up roughly about thirds.

That depends on what you mean by independents. There are only about 10% of voters who are pure independents. The rest of the independents lean towards the Republican or Democratic party. The leaning Independents actually behave more like weak partisans than they do pure independents, meaning they are much more likley to support the party they lean towards. In addition, pure independents are much less likely to vote than the other groups (leaners and strong/weak partisans).
