(CNN) Six in 10 debate watchers said former Vice President Joe Biden did the best job in Tuesday's debate, and just 28% say President Donald Trump did, according a CNN Poll of debate watchers conducted by SSRS. The post-debate result is about the same as the outcome of a post-debate poll in 2016 after the first debate between Trump and Hillary Clinton. On the economy, though, voters who watched the debate split, with 50% saying they preferred Biden and 48% Trump. Favorable views of both candidates were largely steady (62% had a favorable view of Biden, just 35% had a favorable view of Trump) when compared with the pre-debate results among the same people (60% had a favorable view of Biden, 37% had a favorable view of Trump). The CNN post-debate poll was conducted by SSRS by telephone and includes interviews with 568 registered voters who watched the September 29 debate.
