Biden is still leading in the polls, and voters say he won his first debate against Trump
Source: CNBC
Democrat Joe Biden came into the first debate ahead of President Donald Trump in the national polls. If voter reactions to the first debate are any indication, Biden is likely to keep a hold on the lead after the face-off, too.
Heres what some of the national polling trackers said Thursday morning:
* The NBC News national polling average had Biden up 7.9 points over Trump. That figure is based on an unweighted average of the 10 most recent reliable public opinion polls.
* The RealClearPolitics general election polling average showed Biden with a 6.6-point lead over Trump.
FiveThirtyEights national polling tracker gave Biden a 7.6-point advantage.
* Three polls asking who won Tuesday nights debate show Biden coming out on top though respondents, along with most commentators and even the moderator himself, gave dismal reviews to the contest itself, which appears to have changed few minds.
A CNBC/Change Research poll conducted Tuesday night and Wednesday found 53% of likely voters nationwide said Biden did a better job in the debate, compared with 29% for Trump. The poll also found 45% of those surveyed saying Trump performed worse than expectations, while 11% said the same for Biden.

The Economy was much better under Obama/Biden. Huge problems under Trump; Contrary to Trumps repeated LIES, the economy under Trump was never as good as under Obama/Biden
