The Debate Moderators Got It Right

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

36% : But this time was different, and not just because Trump was faced with a new opponent who was quite a bit more eloquent on the subject of reproductive rights.
30% : When Trump dodged the question of whether he had regrets over his behavior on Jan. 6, 2021, Muir asked it again.
23% : When Trump said, "Crime in this country is through the roof" due to an influx of migrants, Muir quickly corrected him, citing the FBI as his source.
21% : When Trump insisted he was being "sarcastic" in instances when he'd appeared to admit to having lost the 2020 election, Muir pushed back, noting that he'd reviewed tapes of some of those remarks and "didn't detect the sarcasm."
20% : Sometimes Davis and Muir, who had the ability to mute both candidates' mics when they didn't have the floor, allowed responses to ramble on for too long or indulged Trump and Harris in excessive cross-talk.
