June 27, 2024: Fifty-six percent (56%) of voters say that the presidential debate would be better if candidates were allowed to ask direct questions of each other. A Scott Rasmussen national survey conducted by RMG Research found that 32% thought allowing candidates to ask questions of each other would make the debates worse.

The survey also found that just 31% think it is even somewhat likely that anything could happen in the debates that might cause them to change their votes. Sixty-four percent (64%) say the debate is unlikely to change their minds, including 35% who say it is not at all likely.


Methodology

The survey of 1,000 registered voters was conducted online by Scott Rasmussen on June 17-18, 2024. Field work for the survey was conducted by RMG Research, Inc. Certain quotas were applied, and the sample was lightly weighted by geography, gender, age, race, education, internet usage, and political party to reasonably reflect the nation’s population of registered voters. Other variables were reviewed to ensure that the final sample is representative of that population.The margin of sampling error for the full sample is +/- 3.1 percentage points.

Note: Scott Rasmussen is the president of RMG Research, Inc. He hosts "The Scott Rasmussen Show" on Merit Street Media Sunday mornings at 10 Eastern.
