In the first presidential debate between President Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden, voters who watched Tuesday night say Biden won the debate, but those who watched the heated exchanges overwhelmingly called the debate's tone negative, and most said they felt annoyed watching it.
Forty-eight percent say Biden won, while 41% think Trump was the winner. Biden's margin here is not too different than his lead in national polls. Ten percent called the debate a tie.
Immediately after the debate, the CBS News Battleground Tracker interviewed likely voters nationwide who watched the debate in order to get their reaction.
More than eight in 10 voters who watched describe the debate's tone as negative, including majorities of each candidate's supporters.

Biden won biggest A hole award...Wallace came in second.
Chris Wallace lost the debate. He was constantly badgering, correcting and arguing with Trump and then tossing to Biden with reverence.
As far as Trump vs. Biden, given Biden’s refusal to denounce Antifa or Court packing I’d say Trump will win the economic and Law and Order vote and our senate races can be run on the pack the court issue.
He got 66% of Latino vote on Univision, I would imagine he got Black men as well.
They were both bullying.
I saw a couple of old guys.....acting and responding like a couple of children. Trump needs to stop with the BS bluster and try facts for a change. Biden is just spouting what he has memorized as responses...nothing spontaneous or new from him either.
Not impressed with either of them. If you were watching this in a foreign country you’d wonder just who these two clowns were last night.
The President didn’t prepare. I was shouting on facts that President should say. He was over confident at this debate, been on the road, rallies.
Wallace and the riots? Pres should have the exact statement he made that day memorized- it has been allowed to be “truth”. The media repeats it for the last couple of years and the lie has become their truth. That shouldn’t have happened that the President didn’t make his exact statement last night loud and clear and shut that down.
Yeah. Biden being on major meds probably makes him appear calm or cadaver like.
CBS is alone in their polling. Even Telemundo had Trump ahead.
Here’s the correct headline:
Left-Wing CBS “News” said, without any proof, that Biden won the debate.
How many times did Wallace challenge the lies Biden was saying? I don’t remember any.
I also got the feeling that Biden had received some questions ahead of time. He was very hesitant on anything that required on-your-feet-thinking, but then came questions that he had very straight answers for. It appeared “teed up” to me.
Also of note, Trump hardly takes any notes, he’s either listening or speaking. Biden spent little time taking notes but constantly looked down as though he’s reading.
Curious.
At one point, Trump did tell Biden to stop talking and he did.
“Your article states that Trump won the debate among independents, so your conclusion is BS.”
That wasn’t my conclusion but rather how I believed the MSM would conclude who won the debate.
I too noticed that a couple of times when his response was obviously canned and focus group tested.
