What percentage of voters rely on next-day talking heads to find out how the debate went?

In real time she cleaned his clock. Anyone who actually watched it know for sure who won that. My question is how many will think they got the whole story (or enough of the whole story) to make an informed choice after watching the end result of editing and spin cycle...

1. I have worked with people who couldn't form an opinion at all until...

... their conservative propagandists told them how to think and feel.

Even on 9/11! My blue-collar co-workers acted mostly confused by the terrorism UNTIL they saw Bill O'Reilly act angry about it. Then they were finally angry too! The quick behavioral change happened right in front of my eyes in the company break room that night!

3. That's what I'm wondering.. but mostly

the effect of the spin on the grossly uninformed "undecideds". What will they take away from what will, necessarily, be an edited version of the debate?

4. It probably depends on their individual resistance to emotion-laden BS.

If Hannity and Limbaugh act outraged by the debate and portray Clinton as a conniving monster somehow, they might win over a few suckers.

The mainstream media has been mostly positive about Clinton's performance and has provided, in typical fashion, low-emotion reasons to support that opinion. That approach might work better for many undecided voters who didn't take the time to watch the debate.

2. talkingheads confirm it

most know who did better and who did terrible
and nearly everybody likes to see it confirmed by others.

they saw her take it all on and handle it
they saw him wilt after the first 20 minutes or so
she looked ready to go for another 90 minutes
he looked ready for bed
