Registered voters who watched Tuesday’s debate between vice presidential nominees Tim Walz and JD Vance were closely divided over which candidate did the better job, according to a CNN instant poll of debate watchers conducted by SSRS,

CNN’s Abby Phillip was seriously unimpressed with some of Tim Walz’s Tuesday night debate performance against JD Vance, accusing the Democratic vice presidential nominee of repeatedly letting his Republican opponent off the hook and allowing attacks to go unchallenged.

The CNN instant poll had a similar result to a CBS News flash poll done in conjunction with YouGov, which showed Vance winning by a slim margin. That survey of debate watchers had Vance with 42 percent to Walz's 41 percent. The margin of error was +/- 2.7 points. Seventeen percent of respondents said the debate was a draw.
