A pre-debate suggestion Trump tax reveal roils presidential race Voters split on whether Trump, Biden will win first debate: poll MORE’s interjections.

“This man doesn’t know what he’s talking about,” Biden said at one point.

A CBS News poll immediately after the debate indicated that 48 percent of debate-watchers thought Biden won, 41 percent believed Trump was the victor and 10 percent were undecided.

The same poll found a far higher number — 69 percent — saying that the debate made them feel “annoyed.”.

The Drudge Report branded the clash a “circus” and ran another headline proclaiming “Chaos reigns in hell debate.” MSNBC’s Rachel MaddowRachel Anne MaddowGlenn Greenwald tells Megyn Kelly he has been 'formally banned' from MSNBC GOP lawmakers distance themselves from Trump comments on transfer of power Schiff urges Trump administration members to resign: 'You cannot maintain your silence' MORE tweeted, “Perhaps we could also debate by mail.” CNN’s Dana BashDana BashTrump says officials will investigate whether California is using 1619 Project in classrooms Veterans Affairs secretary defends Trump: 'I judge a man by his actions' GOP senator dismisses national intelligence director election security briefings: 'This is blown way out of proportion' MORE, not normally an opinionated on-air presence, called the clash “a shit show.”.

A CNN poll was much worse than the CBS survey for the president, with 60 percent saying Biden won and just 28 percent going for Trump.

Trump supporters will take some comfort from the way the president appeared to push Biden onto the defensive, at times pertaining to attitudes toward law enforcement.

The president also sounded one of his campaign’s most consistent themes — that Biden would be beholden to his party’s left wing if elected.

The left, Trump goaded Biden at one point, would “dominate” him.
