New York, June 27 (RHC)-- A new AP-NORC poll finds that a majority of U.S. adults plan to watch or listen to some element of Thursday’s presidential debate.   And many think the stakes are high for both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump.

Most U.S. adults plan to watch some element of Thursday’s presidential debate and many think the event will be important for the campaigns of both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

Both men remain broadly unpopular as they prepare to face off for the first time since 2020, although Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, maintains a modest enthusiasm advantage with his base compared to Biden, the Democratic incumbent.

About 6 in 10 U.S. adults say they are “extremely” or “very” likely to watch the debate live or in clips, or read about or listen to commentary about the performance of the candidates in the news or social media.

The poll suggests tens of millions of Americans are likely to see or hear about at least part of Thursday’s debate despite how unusually early it comes in the campaign season.  Both Biden and Trump supporters view the debate as a major test for their candidate — or just a spectacle not to miss.
