Document Summary
Nixon won on the radio (48. 7% - 21%) Kennedy looked good on tv, nixon did not. Nixon in bad shape, but had a strong voice. Results actually the opposite of what was expected. Planned to visit every state throughout the election. Was not in good shape, did not look go on tv. Ralph mcgill: used a survey (only 15 people surveyed) Mazzo: observed governors listening and watching to the debate (did not ask people who one, did not ask about parties. Sam linger: survey, three sets of samples (3000 people) At the time large division between rural and urban voters and people who owned a tv. Most of the people watching were likely to be rural (more likely to vote republican) No for vote intention (opinions do not really change after the debate) Moves polls 3-5 points (usually regression, goes back to where it was) Cannot tell if debates matter because there is too much data to take into account.
