CNN September 29, 2020 Debate Reaction Poll (Poll 11) The study was conducted for CNN via telephone by SSRS, an independent research company. Interviews were conducted on September 29, 2020 among a sample of 568 registered voters who watched the presidential debate. The margin of sampling error for total respondents is +/-6.3 at the 95% confidence level. The design effect is 2.34. Survey respondents were first interviewed as part of a random national sample conducted on the SSRS Omnibus from September 22-27, 2020. Respondents were also recruited September 23-26, 2020 via the SSRS Opinion Panel, a nationally representative panel of U.S. adults age 18 or older. In those interviews, respondents indicated they planned to watch the debate and were willing to be re-interviewed after the debate. More information about SSRS can be obtained by visiting . Unless otherwise noted, results beginning with the March 31-April 2, 2006 survey and ending with the April 22-25, 2017 survey are from surveys conducted by ORC International. Results before March 31, 2006 are from surveys conducted by Gallup. Question text noted in parentheses was rotated or randomized. Values less than 0.5 percent are indicated by an asterisk (*).

NOTE ABOUT CROSSTABS Members of demographic groups not shown in the published crosstabs are represented in the results for each question in the poll. Crosstabs on the pages that follow only include results for subgroups with a minimum N=125 unweighted cases. Results for subgroups with fewer than N=125 unweighted cases are not displayed and instead are denoted with "SN" because samples of that size carry larger margins of sampling error and can be too small to be projectable with confidence to their true values in the population.
