A post-debate poll* published by WCBD News 2 shows that viewers believe Michael B. Moore, a Democrat running for the U.S. House of Representatives in South Carolina's 1st Congressional District, triumphed over opponent Mac Deford in the SC-01 Democratic primary debate on Thursday night.
*This was an unscientific poll where people could vote multiple times and from anywhere in the world
The online survey shows that 61.9% of respondents believed Moore won the first and only televised debate of the primary contest, while 38.1% considered Deford the winner. A total of 3,162 votes were cast in the poll, which opened immediately after the debate and closed early Friday morning.
"I'm overwhelmed by all the support that debate viewers have shown for our campaign's hopeful vision for the future of the Lowcountry," said Moore. "It was a privilege to participate in Thursday night's broadcast, and I thank the hardworking journalists at WCBD News 2 for organizing this important opportunity for voters to hear from the Democratic candidates in SC-01."
Moore continued: "This November, we have a real shot at replacing Nancy Mace, restoring Democrats' House majority, and finally delivering for the Lowcountry's working families in Congress. But first, our party must nominate the candidate best positioned to flip this swing district and take the fight to extreme Republicans."
