Contributing sentiments towards policy:

71% : ""Trump is better with a large crowd, few rules and sympathetic moderators.
65% : Trump needs to prepare more and practice self control to have a better performance.
59% : "While the Biden/Trump debate was of monumental importance in mobilizing a change at the top of the ticket, it moved support for Trump by less than a point and Biden only saw a 1.5 point dip in his support among likely voters.
57% : Throughout his professional, television and political careers Trump has demonstrated that he considers rules something that other people have to follow.
44% : Like Smith and Loge, Reeves also identified that the historical trend of debates having limited impact on the race made it harder to justify another head-to-head for Trump, telling Newsweek: "It's also important to remember that the these debates really don't move public opinion all that much.
40% : "Trump has historically responded to situations that require finesse by wielding a rhetorical mallet.
38% : Even under last night's relatively tight rules, Trump managed to keep talking and ended up with more airtime than Harris.
27% : "Trump would probably not benefit from another debate," Reeves said.
26% : But it is difficult to see what Trump could gain apart from more media exposure, which he often craves and has been lacking since Harris became the candidate.
22% : "Last night, Harris spoke less but attacked more and Trump rambled on and on.
17% : The Harris campaign immediately challenged Trump to another debate, with Fox News inviting both candidates for another showdown, but some political experts believe that more debates could hurt the Republican nominee.
