text:  Gordon. Thank you, Mike. Favorable views of Biden before the debate stood at 55 percent and they held steady at 56 percent in post-debate interviews. Likewise, Trump's numbers held steady with 42 percent saying they had a favorable view of the former president in interviews conducted before the debate and 41 saying the same afterward. Next debate, Tuesday, September 10th. It's 11 minutes after the hour on this morning. America's first news.
