Who won the Debate?

Umm, it's not over?

A big, big win for Biden on substance. And he just gave the base exactly the shot in the arm it needed.

The only thing I do worry about is how the smirking and occasional laughing will play with the incredibly dumb "undecided" voters who apparently base their votes on that sort of immaterial thing.

My democratic family members said they thought Biden looked like a "prick" because of his smugness.

Will you ever stop doing this? You must have the least Democratic Democratic family in existence.

CNN's snap poll is the result of a very Republican (R+2 to be exact) audience for the debate. Shows that Republicans are enthusiastic and paying close attention to the election but it also puts Ryan edging out Biden in their poll in better perspective.

Yeah. Well, CNN had it 48-44. And the electorate will probably be maybe D+2 or so. So among actual voters, it was basically tied?

So a wash? I'm actually surprised because I expected Biden to crush Ryan. And he didn't do so.

Didn't the CBS poll that gave Biden the win poll undecided likely voters? If so, surely you agree that's more useful than a registered voters poll. Solid R and D voters don't change their mind based on one debate.

Yep. Biden wins 50%-31% among undecided voters according to CBS.
