In a poll conducted after the debate, 66 percent of participants told Telemundo they believed Trump won the debate. Only 34 percent of poll participants thought Biden made a better showing in Tuesday's debate. Telemundo hosts warned the poll was "not scientific" but was based on the responses on the participation of its followers on Twitter.
There's a whole thread about it on the main page. The MAGAs were so excited that one television poll named Trump the winner that they created a safe place/thread to go to so they wouldn't have to look at every other poll that said the exact opposite. Not, of course, that any MAGAs believe in polls....

Television polls are entirely unscientific. No one should take them seriously regardless of what they're showing.

Haven’t we learned even the scientific polls are unscientific.

My opinion, nobody is basing their vote on the recent debate. Minds were already made up.. the result will just be a matter of partisan voter turnout + levels of voter fraud.
Purely anecdotal, but I see a lot more enthusiasm for Trump than Biden (nationwide). But it usually comes down to surgical, electoral college strategizing.. we'll see.

But here you can see all the polls, their relative strengths and histories. You can't look at this and say Trump is likely to win, unless you believe the numbers are all fake.

2016 polls were way closer than this.

We don't... but it was refreshing to see no doubt.

I hear the hispanics like alpha males... and Trump definitely showed that in the debate. But please... tell me more about how Biden will win Florida and Texas.

If yard signs, flags, parades, and rallies are any indication, Trump will blow Biden out of the water in almost every state.

True story: driving through an outlying blue collar suburb of Detroit a few days ago. This area went for Obama in 2008 and 2012, Trump won by only one point over Hillary there in 2016. We were on one of the main, busiest roads, very heavy traffic, for about ten miles. I counted 30 Trump signs/flags for every Biden sign, and I was counting each house as one, even if they had seven signs. If this is the case in other swing states, Biden is in for a bad night but a much needed retirement in about a month.

From CNBC article

Quote:
Trump’s camp also touted polling to suggest he won, including unscientific Twitter polls in which anyone can participate. White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, for instance, cited one such Twitter poll from C-SPAN.
Quote:
Kayleigh McEnany
@kayleighmcenany
VERDICT: President @realDonaldTrump WINS ‼️

CSPAN: ✅ Trump (53% Trump; 29% Biden)

Telemundo: ✅ Trump (66% Trump; 34% Biden)

CNN: ✅ Trump (3 votes Trump; 1 vote Biden of decided voters)
Telemundo is included in the non-scientific poll

I agree pretty much with you: if there is another debate we may see it mean something, but i doubt it. I think 90% or more know who they are supporting unless we have a huge Oct surprise

He isn't going to win either; I think the Dems know thinking he is would be a long shot at best.
