Voters say Biden did a better job at the debate by 2-to-1 margin
Forty-nine percent of voters say Biden did a better job at Tuesday’s debate, which was marked by insults, interruptions, falsehoods and personal attacks — most, though not all, coming from the president.
That’s compared with 24 percent who say Trump had the better performance.
Another 17 percent say that neither did a better job at the debate.
Additionally, 19 percent of voters say they’re more likely to support Biden after the debate, versus 6 percent who say they’re more likely to back Trump.
The vast majority — 73 percent — say the debate made no difference in how they’d vote.
Among the 49 percent who say Biden did a better job, many voters cited Trump’s performance when asked to describe what they thought was important at the debate.
“Basically, last night was a snapshot of the last three and a half years. Not being able to say anything about white supremacists, being negative and being unpresidential,” 0said one respondent.
Even among the 24 percent who say Trump did the better job, the responses were as much about the president’s performance than Biden’s.
“I would say Donald Trump’s admittance of not supporting white supremacists, telling the white supremacists to stand down, so to speak, by the moderator. The other important thing was Joe Biden’s inability to form any coherent response,” said a voter who thought Trump did a better job.
(That's assuming the rigged sample in any way indicates actual voters, troll-boi.)
