CNN Poll: Biden wins final presidential debate

[mfcorey1]

(CNN)Joe Biden did a better job in the final debate on Thursday, according to a CNN Instant Poll of debate watchers. Overall, 53% of voters who watched the debate said that Biden won the matchup, while 39% said that President Donald Trump did.

Viewers once again said that Biden's criticisms of Trump were largely fair (73% said they were fair, 26% unfair), and they split over whether Trump's attacks on Biden were fair (50% said yes, 49% no).

That's a more positive outcome for Trump. In a CNN Instant Poll after the first presidential debate, just 28% said they thought the President had won the debate, and 67% called his criticism of Biden unfair.

All told, though, the debate did not do much to move impressions of either candidate. Favorable views of Biden before the debate stood at 55%, and they held steady at 56% in post-debate interviews. Likewise, Trump's numbers held steady, with 42% saying they had a favorable view of the President in interviews conducted before Thursday's debate and 41% saying the same afterward.

1. Very similar to the polling we've seen

Biden up a few points over his RCP polling average, trump about the same.
This tells me not many minds were changed and that's an excellent result when you're up by a comfortable margin nationally.
If anything, Biden may have gained a bit from the undecided voters. Which is great considering where Biden is at, there isn't a lot of room to grow much more support from hard core MAGAts.
Onward and upwards.
