President Barack Obama and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney participated in their final debate Monday night in Florida. How much impact will the debates have on the outcome of the presidential election?

Major impact. I think people will use the debates as a deciding factor in the election because it shows where a a candidate stands on the issues and how they perform under pressure.
Moderate impact. I think the debates will have more impact on undecided voters and people who haven't been paying attention all along.
Little impact. I think people look at the debates as entertainment and nothing more than that.
I don't know. I guess we'll find out Nov. 6.
