A pollster who viewed the vice presidential debate with 15 undecided voters said Vice President Mike Pence was the "clear winner" of Wednesday's prime-time showdown.
Frank Luntz said he watched the debate with voters from eight swing states who concluded that Pence won the first and only debate against Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris.
"This is clearly a better debate than the first one," Luntz told Fox News's Brit Hume. "Mike Pence was the winner of tonight's confrontation."
Luntz said a majority of the voters found Harris's demeanor to be "abrasive and condescending" before noting that Pence came across as "tired but vice presidential" to the group.
"If this is a battle over style and substance, which is often the case with undecided voters because they simply do not choose on policy — they also choose on persona — this was Mike Pence's night," Luntz concluded.
Some members of the group said they were "agitated with Kamala's presentation," the pollster said, and that her reactions to Pence, which included smiling and smirking while he answered most of the questions, was a turn-off.
Luntz said the undecided voters felt Harris aggressively attacked the Trump administration's record on the coronavirus but that Pence did a sufficient job defending the policy steps taken throughout the past year.

Is there a bump coming?
We saw VP Mike Pence vs the true democratic presidential candidate last night.
Probably not.
Few people are voting for Pence.
Some might be voting for Biden, Harris or both.
Many will be voting against Mr. Trump or leaving the Presidential choice blank while voting GOP for the rest of the ticket.
That defines the typical Biden voter
People voting against Hillary is why Trump is currently President.
No Andrew, I don't think that one was about personality - more like policy. Fortunately, Hillary had neither.
BS. It was all about personality and cult.
I gotta agree with Andrew here. You'd have to be touched in the head to vote for someone who called you "deplorable" simply because you differ some politically.
The liberal party is now the party of hate and divisiveness.
A vote for Biden will basically get you exactly the same thing ....
You touched on it. She did not run as Bill & Hillary used to run - she tried to run on the Obama method. The race based Obama coalition is not transferable - One of the great lessons of 2016.
For what ? Mike Pence 2024 ?
I thought the debate was incredibly boring. Both sides were regurgitating talking points without the added attraction of personal animosity.
This has virtually zero effect on the presidential election.
Thank you John.
hopefully. preferably the size of a goose egg. guess where.
In Joe's head?
Adjectives that come to mind after watching Harris in this debate.
Smug, arrogant, disingenuous, aloof, conceited, egocentric .......
Her facial expressions have gone viral:
And the left talks about Trump being a dick ..... Harris can out-dick Trump any day of the week.
That picture on the left looks as though she may be having a Jerry Nadler "moment"
One of my favorite SNL commercials:
..... and i just did .....
Or when Biden dropped his pants!
I remember that one!
I doubt that most intelligent voters would want that smug and arrogant far left bitch anywhere close to becoming president.
The problem is the media. They create these narratives and hammer away with them 24/7. They portray Joe Biden as a moderate effective candidate. They also imply that if Americans will simply vote against the President everything else will go away - all the violence, all the nasty division, the destroyed economy, even the pandemic! They are holding the nation hostage in a way.
After last night's total debacle for Vice Nutter Pence Trump is dropping out of the next debate. Of Course!
Unless there are truly unbiased "watchers" at each of the candidate's locations to ensure no kibitzing from aides, I wouldn't either. I trust Biden's camp less than Trump's but that being said, they both need "witnesses" on the scene so there are no pieces of paper, no cue cards, and no teleprompters. In addition, being remote, a certified electronic device scan should also be mandated.
Meanwhile, back in reality...
Lol ..... biased polls are not reality my friend but if that helps you sleep at night have at her ....
Those must be more of CNN's "undecided" voters!
Republicans say Pence won, Democrats say Harris won...no surprise. The debate did not change anyone's mind, anyone who says they are still undecided is either lying or ignorant. Really, how can someone be undecided at this late stage! Haven't they been doing research on policies/positions? Are they really that confused, I think not, what they want is attention, they think saying they are undecided at this point shows they are deep thinkers trying to really decipher the information, what it really show is their ignorance or perhaps their lack of values/beliefs such that they truly don't care who is elected.
Pence properly exposed Harris for leading an anti vaxx campaign in the middle of a pandemic and really ran circles around her on the economy. Harris’s pledge to raise income taxes on everyone on Day 1 in the middle of a Recession might be the new standard for the most economically illiterate argument ever made in a debate.
but it’s a VP debate and won’t be remembered tomorrow.
It doesn't look good for Team Trump...
