A snap poll taken after the first debate between Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer has revealed that the public think the Prime Minister performed the better of the two.
Data from YouGov shows 51% think Mr Sunak outperformed Sir Keir, compared to 49% in favour of the Labour leader.
However, digging further into the data suggests that neither did much to ease concerns of many voters.
"Frustrating" was how nearly two-thirds (62%) of people felt about the debate, while almost a third (32%) found it vague and 15% found it confusing.
Less than half (42%) thought the debate was interesting, while only 1 in 25 (4%) thought it was authentic.
Throughout the hour-long head-to-head, the Prime Minister accused Labour of wanting to raise taxes by £2,000, though this claim was refuted by Mr Starmer.
Mr Sunak remained the attack throughout, challenging Labour's promises, while Sir Keir brought up the record of the Tory party - in government for 14 years - as well as the infamous 49-day premiership of Liz Truss.
The debate follows a regular stream of election polling data that shows a possible-record win for the Labour Party at next month's election, with as many as 12 of the 26 cabinet members standing for re-election in danger of losing their seat.
