The biggest takeaways from live polling conducted during both legs of the first DemDebate
Photo: Drew Angerer/Getty Images While 20 Democratic presidential candidates debated over four hours on Wednesday and Thursday night, a group of 210 voters convened by leading party pollster Stanley Greenberg offered their live impressions, answering poll questions and participating in dial-testing to indicate their feelings about what was going on onstage, as it happened.
• By far the most negative live responses among all groups — “I’ve never seen lines go so low,” said Greenberg — came early in the second debate, during the early crosstalk melee featuring Biden, Bernie Sanders, Pete Buttigieg, Kirsten Gillibrand, and Eric Swalwell. Then Harris cut through to say, “Hey, guys, you know what? America does not want to witness a food fight, they want to know how we are going to put food on their table.” The live approval lines all popped up.
• The biggest real-time polarization between the demographic groups over both debate nights came during Biden and Harris’s exchange on busing. “They were dramatically apart: African-Americans were responding fairly strongly, and others were not, to the debate on busing,” said Greenberg.
• Harris increased her share of African-American voters significantly, and saw real backing from Latino voters, too, according to Greenberg. However, Biden’s approval among African-American voters rose as well, suggesting to Greenberg that “attacking Obama may not be so successful” for Harris — who criticized the Obama administration’s deportation policies — in weakening Biden’s numbers.
