Immediately following tonight's presidential debate between Republican Mitt Romney and Democrat Barack Obama, SurveyUSA interviewed 1,000 California adults, of whom 869 watched the debate. California is a 'Blue' state and not surprisingly in California, significantly more Democrats watched the debate than Republicans. Given that, it is particularly striking to find:

* 48% say Romney was the clear winner.
* 34% say Obama was the clear winner.
* 18% say there was no clear winner.

* Men by 24 points say Romney was the clear winner.
* Middle-income viewers by 27 points say Romney was the clear winner.
* Only those age 18 to 34 see the debate as a draw. Viewers age 35+ see Romney as the clear winner.
* Only African Americans see Obama as a narrow winner. Whites, Hispanics and Asians see Romney as the clear winner.
* Even greater San Francisco sees Romney as a narrow winner. Greater Los Angeles, the Central Valley and the Inland Empire all score it for Romney.

* Republicans by 78% to 13% say Romney won.
* Democrats by 55% to 25% say Obama won.
* Independents, the most critical, coveted and arguably most dispassionate group of debate watchers, say by 34 points that Romney is the clear winner.
* Moderates, who typically vote 2:1 in favor of Obama, see Romney as the winner by 15 points.

* Debate watchers split on who they trust more on the economy, a significant moral victory for Romney in California.
* Debate watchers say Obama was not forceful enough.
* Debate watchers (disproportionately Democrats) say Romney was too forceful.
* Narrowly, debate watchers say Romney had the best one liner.
