ACCORDING TO A NEW POLL FROM
CNN, VOTERS DO THINK THERE WAS A
WINNER DURING THE DEBATE.
62% OF VOTERS SAY HILLARY
CLINTON WON
27% BELIEVED DONALD TRUMP HAD A
BETTER NIGHT.
>> LAST NIGHT'S DEBATE BROUGHT
IN THE MOST VIEWERS OF ANY
PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE EVER.
MORE THAN 80 MILLION PEOPLE
TUNED IN SETTING A NEW RECORD IN
THE SIXTY YEAR HISTORY OF
TELEVISED PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES.
THAT NUMBER DOESN'T EVEN COUNT
THOSE WHO WATCHED ONLINE
OR THOSE WHO WATCHED ON PBS OR
C-SPAN
MEANING THE ACTUAL NUMBER IS
PROBABLY MUCH HIGHER.
THE ORIGINAL RECORD 70 MILLION
VIEWERS
FOR THE FIRST EVER TELEVISED
DEBATE
BETWEEN JOHN F.
KENNEDY AND RICHARD NIXON.
>> BECAUSE SO MANY OF YOU
WATCHED THERE HAS BEEN PLENTY OF
DISCUSSION ABOUT EACH
CANDIDATE'S PERFORMANCE.
KMBC 9'S MATT EVANS SAT DOWN
WITH KU POLITICAL SCIENCE
PROFESSOR
DOCTOR PATRICK MILLER
TO GET HIS TAKEAWAYS FROM LAST
NIGHT.
>> TO YOU THINK WE WILL SEE A
SIMILAR STYLE IN THE NEXT TWO
DEBATES MOVING FORWARD?
>> I THINK YOU WILL SEE THE
CANDIDATES PORTRAY THEMSELVES IN
THE SAME WAY.
YOU WANT TO BE SEEN AS
CONSISTENT IF YOU ARE A
CANDIDATE.
I WILL BE INTERESTED GOING
FORWARD IF WE SEE MORE ABOUT THE
ISSUES.
WE SAW A LOT OF DISCUSSION LAST
NIGHT ABOUT TRAMPS -- TRUMP'S
ISN'S RECORD, E-MAILS, BURSAR IS
HIM -- BIRTHERISM.
I THINK YOU HAVE TO HAVE A
DEBATE TO GET SOME OF THAT OUT
OF THE WAY BECAUSE THOSE FLUFFY
THINGS ARE WHAT THIS CAMPAIGN
HAS LARGELY BEEN ABOUT.
HOPEFULLY, IN THE NEXT DEBATE,
WE WILL SEE MORE ABOUT ISSUES
