A disclaimer: Online reader polls like this one are not statistically representative of eligible primary voters. They are a measure, however imprecise, of which candidates have the most energized online supporters, or most social media savvy fan base. After all, what they are counting is the number of Internet-devices controlled by people who want to vote.

They are, by and large, conducted over land lines which most people do not have any longer.

However, you are correct, click polls are nothing more than click polls. It doesn't completely negate their findings, it just salts them.

Cheers!

I think all three candidates did a fine job. Each showing strengths and making cogent points.

However, Sanders had the most concise comments about this ideas, and how he will make those ideas realities.

I live in Iowa, and I am feeling so good about this debate.

I think a lot of Iowans tuned in, since the debate happened in our state--and our caucuses are just two and a half months away.

82 percent of voters in that Time poll agree that Bernie won.
