CNN INSTANT POLL: 60% say Biden won, 28% say Trump

JESUS

More Dems watched, and that's a fair caveat to these poll results, but I think the guy on CNN said the poll was 26% Republican, so it looks like Trump got no Dem or indie support.

99% of deplorables are watching Fox or OANN.

Trump supporters are Nazis. Have I mentioned this?

I loved it when he called Trump Putin's puppy.

No puppy, no puppy. You’re the puppy!

[OSR stands with Israel]

The problem for trump is even a tie is a loss as the person down must win as at this point there become less and less events than can change the nature of a race

It was a poll of all viewers, not CNN viewers.

Is this “undecided” voters I’m guessing?

Is this “undecided” voters I’m guessing?

“Debate watchers.” We’re still waiting for the undecided Ohio voters’ results.

Remember when Al Gore sighing in the debate was a big scandal?

And that time George HW Bush checked his watch.

[MidwestPollster]

Wasnt there an allegation that W was packing a communication device in a debate because there was a camera angle that showed a device beneath his coat?

Considering this is normally one of Trump's qualities that voters tend to rate him better on, this is a *disastrous* result for Trump.

“Debate watchers.” We’re still waiting for the undecided Ohio voters’ results.

6/14 made up minds.
4 Biden.
2 Trump

[musicblind]

Biden addressed the issues, talked to the American people, stayed calm, and, not only held his ground, but he put Trump on the defensive.

Do you still think Joe Biden has dementia, Trump supporters?

No one could watch this debate and still genuinely believe Biden has dementia. Anyone arguing that talking point is no longer arguing in good faith.

[Meclazine for Israel]

The moderator needs a mute button was the only outcome my Australian friends noted.

And if they mute button does not work, isolated sound booths.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Females aren't gonna be swayed by Trump's interrupting strategy anyways, their kids are out of school due to Covid 19, they only were neutralized in 2016, due to 4 percent economy and Benghazi Hillary.

Trump is so mad that he can't talk about Ukraine Biden, and people aren't listening due to fact we are in a Pandemic.

If we were in a 4 percent economy, voters would feel same way as in 2016

[Joe Republic]

I direct everybody to see my signature for an accurate depiction of the "undecided voters'" verdict on this debate.

[ProudModerate2]

Trump slapped Biden across the room on his Beau comment, he countered that by tearing Hunter a new on (thrown out of military, cocaine use, corruption)

And didn't win a single vote.

Not worth replying to Woodbury. He's an empty and reprehensible person who's doubtless worsened the lives of his family members in the same way he worsens this forum.

He has posted his same comment, twice already in Atlas.
Acting proud to be sadistic and evil.
Disgusting.

Even though he interrupted the moderator,  I think this was Trump's best debate from a technical standpoint.  He came out with more substance, and still managed to get more jabs.  He basically won on every issue I thought Joe Biden would hurt him on.  

For example, I didn't think it was possible, but Trump basically won the argument on Climate Change by moderating his opinion.  His answer on the fires was spot on.  Dry thatch, deadwood, etc. needed to be destroyed in controlled burns during the rainy season similar to how the Native Americans did it.  What did Biden say?  Build weatherized buildings?  In case you guys haven't noticed, almost all the large delivery, transportation, and car companies have gone green.  Trump is about to award the solar-powered delivery truck USPS contract to Workhorse.  Biden must have denied having a joint platform with Bernie Sanders 5+ times.  Then Chris Wallace asked him about it, and Biden basically did a 180 over the issue a matter of 20 seconds.  

My Sister's girlfriend is a Democrat, and she was didn't even know how to feel.  If Trump had did bad, she would have pointed it out.  She had nothing, and had her head tilted like a dog when Biden was talking about bulbous muscled racists coming out of the woods saying anti-semetic remarks.  The only criticism of Trump online is the "Proud Boys" line, and my watch party of 8 brought it up and concluded that it likely be unimportant.  We've already crossed that bridge.
