We asked for your reactions to last week’s GOP presidential debate. And we are well aware that the campaign has become a fast-moving affair, given that Rick Perry and Scott Walker have already withdrawn. Nevertheless, here are the results of the unscientific survey, based on more than 370 responses.

1) Of the candidates who got most of the post-debate attention, the clear winner was...

Donald Trump 21%

Carly Fiorina 51%

Jeb Bush 3%

Marco Rubio 10%

Someone else 15%

2) The candidates spent enough time on substantial issues to evaluate where they stand.

Agree strongly 3%

Agree somewhat 29%

Disagree somewhat 26%

Disagree strongly 42%

3) Based on what I saw, this “top-tier” candidate ought to drop out soon...

Chris Christie 9%

Scott Walker 23%

Rand Paul 19%

John Kasich 9%

Mike Huckabee 40%

4) The best way to improve the next GOP debate would be...

Reduce the number of candidates on stage 56%

Keep it much shorter 7%

Focus it on fewer issues 20%

No, leave the general format the way it is 16%
