PPP poll Nov 14 Who Won DEM Debate? Clinton 67%, Sanders 20%, O'M 7% WHOW
Nov 14, 2015
A Public Policy Polling survey of Democratic primary voters nationally who watched tonights debate finds that it reinforced Hillary Clintons front runner status. Viewers overwhelmingly think she won the debate, and particularly trust her over the rest of the Democratic field when it comes to issues of national security.
Key findings from the survey include:
-67% of voters think Clinton won the debate, to 20% for Bernie Sanders and 7% for Martin OMalley. On a related note 63% of viewers said the debate gave them a more positive opinion of Clinton, compared to 41% who said it gave them a more positive opinion of Sanders, and 37% who said it gave them a more positive opinion of OMalley.
-Clinton is by a wide margin the candidate debate watchers trust the most on national security issues. 75% say they have the most faith in Clinton on that front, compared to only 17% for Sanders, and 5% for OMalley. National security issues were a primary focus tonight in the aftermath of yesterdays tragedy in France, and Democratic voters by far and away trust Clinton the most on that issue.
-Whats particularly striking is how universal the sentiment that Clinton won the debate tonight is among all the different groups within the Democratic Party. 86% of African Americans, 73% of women, 70% of moderates, 69% of seniors, 67% of Hispanics, 65% of liberals, 61% of white voters, 58% of men, and 50% of younger voters all think that Clinton was the winner of tonights debate.
-Overall among those who watched the debate tonight, 67% say they plan to vote for Clinton in the primary to 25% for Sanders, and 4% for OMalley.
Clinton came into tonights debate as the clear front runner for the Democrats and these numbers make it clear that the debate and particularly Clintons strength on national security issues just reinforced her front runner status....
