   CNN Poll: Biden wins final presidential debate   
      
      
    (CNN)Joe Biden did a better job in the final debate on Thursday, according to   
   a CNN Instant Poll of debate watchers. Overall, 53% of voters who watched the   
   debate said that Biden won the matchup, while 39% said that President Donald   
   Trump did.   
      
   Viewers once again said that Biden's criticisms of Trump were largely fair   
   (73% said they were fair, 26% unfair), and they split over whether Trump's   
   attacks on Biden were fair (50% said yes, 49% no).   
      
   That's a more positive outcome for Trump. In a CNN Instant Poll after the   
   first presidential debate, just 28% said they thought the President had won   
   the debate, and 67% called his criticism of Biden unfair.   
      
   All told, though, the debate did not do much to move impressions of either   
   candidate. Favorable views of Biden before the debate stood at 55%, and they   
   held steady at 56% in post-debate interviews. Likewise, Trump's numbers held   
   steady, with 42% saying    
   they had a favorable view of the President in interviews conducted before   
   Thursday's debate and 41% saying the same afterward.   
      
   More debate watchers, though, said Trump's performance raised concerns about   
   how he would handle the presidency (55%) than did Biden's (41%).   
      
   Biden was also largely seen as offering a better plan for solving the   
   country's problems (54% Biden to 42% Trump), and voters split over who seemed   
   to be the stronger leader (49% each).   
      
   Although Thursday's event was far less contentious than the first presidential   
   debate, Biden was far more apt to be seen as directly answering the   
   moderator's questions (62% said he did, 31% said Trump).   
      
   Women were more likely than men to say that Biden did the better job in the   
   debate (60% of women said Biden won, 35% Trump, while among men, 47% said   
   Biden won, 44% said Trump did). Independents also largely felt Biden won (55%   
   Biden to 36% Trump), as    
   did moderates (56% Biden to 37% Trump) and White voters with college degrees   
   (64% Biden to 29% Trump). Among those 65 and older -- a group backing Biden in   
   greater numbers than they did Hillary Clinton in 2016, according to most polls   
   -- the verdict was    
   a split decision, with 46% saying Biden won, 43% Trump and 10% saying they   
   both did equally well. Younger voters broadly saw Biden as the winner, 66%, to   
   27% for Trump among those under age 45.
