A new HuffPost/YouGov poll finds 59% of Democratic voters who watched at least highlights of the first night’s debate said Elizabeth Warren did the best job, with Julian Castro a distant second at 16%, and the remaining candidates all in the single digits.
The second night’s debate saw a similar divide, with 59% saying Kamala Harris did the best, 16% naming Joe Biden, 11% naming Bernie Sanders, and everyone else polling below 10%.
