A new Morning Consult poll finds those who watched the first presidential debate think Joe Biden did a better job than Donald Trump by 50% to 34%.
Just 37% of voters who watched the debate said Trump is a good debater, down 10 points from a poll taken just before the moderated discussion.
Meanwhile, Trump tweets: “I won the debate big, based on compilation of polls etc. Thank you!“
