University of Mary Washington political science professor Stephen Farnsworth, who hosted a debate watch on the Fredericksburg campus, said he thought neither candidate won over many new voters—echoing the thoughts of other political analysts. “In a roomful of 100 students or so, not one student said they walked into the debate favoring one candidate and walked out of the debate favoring a different one,” Farnsworth said.
