The website NJ.com started an online poll right after the debate ended with the following question:
“Poll: Who won the first presidential debate (9/29/20)?”
At 08:30 a.m. on 09/30 the survey overcame the mark of 275,000 participations, and registered the following results up to that moment:
– Donald Trump – 51.74% (142.316 votes).
– Joe Biden – 48.26% (132.718 votes).
Although the portal states that this is an “informal and unscientific poll” the number of participants exceeds 5% of the total voters at the New Jersey electoral college which has 14 delegates in the American presidential election.
The result is surprising because in the 2016 election the Democratic Party won in New Jersey State when Hillary Clinton got more than 500,000 votes over Donald Trump. Barack Obama also won in 2012 what makes this survey to reverberate nationally.
In turn, the NewsNation website conducted a survey called “NewsNation’s pool”. Even without informing the methodology adopted the website asked the following question to 5,100 people who followed the debate:
“YOUR VOTE: Who won the first presidential debate?”
These are the results:
Trump – 61%
Biden – 33%
Tie – 5%
