A CNN flash poll conducted after Thursday night’s presidential debate showed former President Trump decisively defeating President Biden, with 67% of debate watchers believing Trump won compared to 33% for Biden. In contrast, a CNN poll after the final 2020 presidential debate showed 53% of viewers felt Biden won, while 39% favored Trump. Social media users, including some liberal pundits, largely agreed with the latest poll’s outcome.
Biden’s team tried to spin the narrative that he lost the debate, including Vice President Kamala Harris, who told CNN, “It was a slow start but a strong finish.” First lady Jill Biden said to her husband on a stage after the debate: “Joe, you did such a good job! You answered every question. You knew all the facts.”
