CNN’s Scott Jennings also believed Vance won teh debate.

He stated:

 “It’s pretty clear Vance outclassed Walz tonight. I mean, I was watching this and all I could think of was — man, Walz is so in over his head. I mean, can you imagine this guy sitting in the White House Situation Room with that facial expression that’s like 50% sheer terror and 50% extreme bafflement?

I mean, it was amazing the split-screen difference between a competent Vance and a totally in over his head, Walz. The answer on why he lied about his trips to China and the Tiananmen Square thing was probably the worst VP debate meltdown since Stockdale in ’92, you know, ‘who am I and why am I here?’ It was two-and-a-half minutes of absolute terrible.

For Vance, night of redemption. All the political media has told us that Vance was a terrible pick and Walz was going to bring in all these voters. That charade is now over. Walz does not belong at this level of American politics. Vance does. Final verdict? Tim Walz wandered into the wrong bar tonight.”

Per Newsweek:

Republican Senator JD Vance won the vice presidential debate against Minnesota Governor Tim Walz by the slightest of margins, according to a CNN instant poll conducted among registered voters who watched the showdown.

Fifty-one percent of respondents said that Vance came out on top, compared to 49 percent who said the same of Walz. The margin of error was +/- 5.3 points.

The CNN viewer results were somewhat more favorable for Walz than CNN’s own panel of post-debate anchors, who slammed Walz for being either over or underprepared and gave the advantage to Vance.

According to David Chalian, CNN’s political director, the poll was conducted among registered voters who specifically watched the debate, rather than a broader sample of all registered or likely voters.
