Vance's debate performance was a surprise

Walz was favored as the winner pre-debate, but ultimately Vance performed slightly better, according to a separate CNN/SSRS flash poll.

The CNN post-debate snap poll was conducted by text message with 574 registered US voters who said they watched the debate Tuesday, and the poll findings are representative of the views of debate watchers only.
