A 538/Washington Post/Ipsos Poll conducted after this past Wednesday’s second GOP Presidential Debate found Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as the clear winner, with Nikki Haley placing second.
. . . . Another way to determine who did best (or worst) during the debate is to just ask viewers directly. By this standard, DeSantis was again the clear winner: 33 percent of likely Republican voters who watched the debate said he performed the best, and only 5 percent said he performed the worst. (All numbers in this article exclude respondents who skipped the question, which is why our numbers sometimes differ from those on Ipsos’s website.) Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley ranked second, with 18 percent rating her as the strongest debater and only 7 percent rating her as the worst. . . . .
