--wait for the common person on the street to tell us what he she he-she or she-he thought of the debate, because SI folks here on this thread likely not qualify as common--

as you suggest with your gender-flexible description, there is no 'common person' on the streets
of the u.s.. so, waiting for such is unlikely to result in a telling.

the u.s. is fractured into many, many 'commons'... including lots of 'uncommons'.
bias rules, so to say.
-g/ng-

so, to get a general understanding of something like 'the common person on the street' it seems
that we need to review the polls in relation to their biases.

what does a left/socialist poll show?
what does a right/neoconservative poll show?
what does a neoliberal poll show?
what does a libertarian poll show?
what does a corporate leader poll show?
what does a labor/union poll show?
what does a (ethnicity) poll show?
etc.?
then assign population percentages to the various polls,
add them up,
and assign an error of measurement.

or do a simple triangulation with
far left poll,
far right poll,
center poll.

as far as u.s. msm...

Who expected a debate? I certainly didn't. Trump's default mode is a stream of lies and insults. It worked in 2016, but it is not so effective now.
