Who won the VP debate? [View all]

David Brooks, one of that increasingly rare breed of reasonable and moderate Republicans, felt that Biden won the debate, but he also said something interesting. He said that Ryan, who is 42 years old, probably looked better to people who were raised in the modern age of tv and internet as opposed to those who were raised earlier. He felt Ryan's style would play better to a younger audience and that Biden's style to an older audience. So, this poll attempts to see if there's a difference in the way different generations perceived that debate.
