FiveThirtyEight polled before and after and found Bernie Sanders, Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar with the best marks. In fact, Sanders received the highest marks of any candidate for his debate performance.
Elizabeth Warren, on the other hand, got a middle-of-the-pack performance score… Joe Biden and Andrew Yang, on the other hand, received somewhat subpar debate grades that looked even worse compared to their pre-debate favorability ratings.
