Our post-debate polling is out!

There's a lot of good news in here for Buttigieg and Klobuchar.

And among the top 3, definitely more good news for Warren than for Biden or Sanders.

We interviewed voters on a number of questions, so we hope you'll look at all of them.

First, in terms of grading the candidates' debate performance, Warren got the highest marks, followed by Sanders and Buttigieg in a tie for second.
Relative to their pre-debate favorability ratings—it's easier to get higher marks if voters liked you going in— Buttigieg and Klobuchar's debate grades stand out positively, while Biden, Castro, Gabbard and Beto all underperformed.
Next, in terms of who voters said they were considering voting for before and after the debate, Buttigieg and Klobuchar made the biggest gains, while Warren also did well. Sanders, despite getting fairly high debate ratings, didn't do so hot on this question.
Next, we asked about favorability ratings. Klobuchar, Buttigieg and Warren improved their net favorables by the most. Beto, Castro, Gabbard, Harris and (at the margin) Booker all saw their net favorables decline. Meh results for Biden and Sanders.
Finally, we asked about electability. Perhaps reflecting how contentious the debate was, almost all D's actually lost ground on perceived chance of beating Trump. Beto, Biden and Castro lost more than others, though. The lone exception was Klobuchar, who gained on electability.
