CNN/ORC poll: Hillary Clinton wins debate, but Bernie Sanders rises (actual headline) [View all]

I don't want to debate who won the debate. I just copied the actual headline.

CNN/ORC poll: Hillary Clinton wins debate, but Bernie Sanders rises

Washington (CNN)With the first Democratic debate in the books, a new CNN/ORC poll finds most who watched think Hillary Clinton had the best performance of the night, but her strong showing hasn't boosted her standing in the race for the party's nomination.

Clinton stands at 45% in the race for the Democratic nomination, with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders behind her at 29%. Vice President Joe Biden, who is considering a run for presidency and did not participate in last week's debate, follows at 18%.

Behind the top three, former Virginia Sen. Jim Webb had 1% support, while former Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee, Harvard professor Larry Lessig and former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley all held less than 1% support.

Compared with pre-debate polling, Sanders' support is up five points since mid-September, but no other candidate showed significant change.

Among those who had actually watched the debate, Sanders' favorability increased from 62% to 84%!
