Via Weekly Standard:
A new Pew poll of registered voters shows that independent voters who tuned into the vice presidential debate last Thursday preferred Paul Ryan to Joe Biden by an 11-point margin:
“Six-in-ten voters say they watched at least a little of last Thursday night’s vice-presidential debate between Joe Biden and Paul Ryan at Centre College in Danville, KY. Among debate watchers, as many say Biden did the better job (47%) as say Ryan (46%)….
Republican voters overwhelmingly say Ryan did the better job in the debate (88%); a comparable percentage of Democrats (89%) say Biden did the better job. Among independents, 50% say Ryan did better, 39% say Biden.”
The Pew poll’s finding of a tie at the VP debate is consistent with other surveys: A CNN flash poll the night of the debate showed Ryan beating Biden 48 percent to 44 percent among registered voters, and a Reuters/Ipsos poll showed Biden beating Ryan 42 percent to 35 percent among registered voters.
