    Great breakdown of the post-debate fallout:

    https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-first-democratic-debate-in-five-charts/

    Good news for Yang. Despite having the obviously most muted performance (pun?), he gained the 2nd largest increase per-capita (4th most overall) of Twitter followers behind only Julian Castro, and that isn't even considering the fact that Castro got to speak 3 times as much as Yang. Andrew is also now sitting at 2% nationally (up from 0/1%).

    This is keeping with the trend of the Yang campaign punching above its weight.

    What does this even mean? Why would a per-capita rate be different for different candidates?

    https://www.realclearpolitics.com/e..._democratic_presidential_nomination-6730.html

    4 polls since the debate - 3 at 1%, and 1 at 2%. That's the same as the last 4 polls before the debate.

    The 2% Poll is the same one as the last time he was at 2%, but unrelated to Yang, I found something interesting in it:

    https://morningconsult.com/2020-democratic-primary/

    It asks about 2nd choices. Bernie's voters top 2nd choice is Biden, and Biden's is Bernie. I'd have thought Bernie people would go to Warren, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Warren supporters also go to Harris more than Bernie. Voting isn't as ideological as people tend to believe.

    That’s interesting. If this hold, imply gender play a bigger role. Also explain a bit why Warren gain after the 1st night debate but lost some ground overall after the 2nd.

    This is probably due to how early it is and what little people know of the candidates. Name recognition is driving the bus quite a bit, following that there's likely a recency effect. We will probably start to see this change as we progress and the dividing lines between the candidates become more obvious and focused on.

    Yang in a few polls at 3%. In 7th place in front of a lot of senators and governors. I’m curious if in the next month or two if he can climb to 5-6%.

    I think a fair amount depends on this next debate performance. On paper, it seems like CNN's format will be beneficial to him (opening statement, reduction of speaking time for participants who keep interrupting), but of course things could change in practice.
