A disclaimer: Online reader polls like this one are not statistically representative of eligible primary voters. They are a measure, however imprecise, of which candidates have the most energized online supporters, or most social media savvy fan base. After all, what they are counting is the number of Internet-devices controlled by people who want to vote. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4154954/democratic-debate-third-poll/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4154954/democratic-debate-third-poll/"},"headline":"Vote Now: Who Won the Third Democratic Presidential Debate?","datePublished":"2015-12-20T03:44:53.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T13:29:59.948Z","description":"A post-debate poll","url":"https://time.com/4154954/democratic-debate-third-poll/","keywords":["Debates","Hillary Clinton","2016 Election topic","photography","Bernie Sanders","Martin O'malley"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9dba3db3d235eb89/698876380a4a228f429c79ae/democratic-debate-2.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9dba3db3d235eb89/698876380a4a228f429c79ae/democratic-debate-2.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Dem 2016 Debate","caption":"Dem 2016 Debate","creditText":"Jim Cole—AP","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/debates/","name":"Debates"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4154954/democratic-debate-third-poll/","name":"Vote Now: Who Won the Third Democratic Presidential Debate?"}}]}] ```
