Along these lines, only 6% of likely voters nationwide say they're watching debate today to decide who to vote for

73% say they're watching to see how their candidate does

Pre-debate poll fielded Sep 25-28 by @YouGov — more about it at @CBSNewsPoll blog: http://www.cbsnews.com/live-news/cbsnews-eye-on-trends/ https://twitter.com/kabir_here/status/1310604769761918978

So how did that debate make you feel?

Annoyed, according to 69% of likely voters nationwide

By contrast, just 17% report feeling informed

Results from instant poll we just fielded with @YouGov (n=1,039; MOE: ±3.4 points)

Debate watchers also overwhelmingly say tone of debate was negative (no surprise there)

Here's who debate watchers say "won" tonight's debate — these views are of course highly partisan

Biden scores 9 points higher than Trump on two qualities:
"Cares about people like you"
"Honest and trustworthy"

Trump marginally higher on having "physical and mental stamina for the job"

Saw similar differences pre-debate, which doesn't really seem to have shifted these views

This is kinda interesting, aside from just who "won" debate

Slightly more watchers say debate made them think better of Biden (38%) than worse of him (32%): nets to +6

When it comes to Trump, more watchers say it made them think worse (42%) than better of him (24%): nets to -18

Just to clarify, this entire thread is about likely voters who said they watched the debate across the country, which is of course a subset of U.S. voters more generally

Here is how sample breaks down in terms of partisanship
