BRAVO: FARAGE CLOBBERED CLEGG IN EU DEBATE

BBC: In a YouGov poll of 1,003 voters, some 57% thought that Nigel Farage had performed best in this evening's LBC debate and 36% Nick Clegg.


UPDATE: THE GUARDIAN: 
The full data are more revealing. Here are the key points. 
• Farage won by an even bigger margin amongst those actually watching the programme.  
The raw figures were 65% saying Farage won, and just 28% saying Clegg won. But YouGov found that those actually watching the debate contained a disproportionate number of Ukip supporters. It weighted the results, to make them politically representative of the UK as a whole, to produce the 57/36 figures. 
• Those judging Farage the winner included 69% of Conservative supporters, 42% of Labour supporters, 20% of Lib Dem supporters and 30% of those in favour of staying in the EU. 
• Farage's victory only made a slight difference to the number of viewers saying they favoured leaving the EU.  
Before the debate 42% of those polled favoured withdrawal. Afterwards it was 44%, with 47% favouring staying in. 
• Farage's approval ratings went up noticably during the debate, from 40% of people saying they had a positive view of him beforehand to 52% afterwards.  
Clegg's ratings also went up, but by less, from 31% to 35%.

    So erstwhile LibDem supporters weren't interested enough to watch or listen to the debate. Can't really blame them.
