President Donald Trump is declaring he won the debate with Democrat Joe Biden.
His comments came Thursday in a tweet.
The president wrote: "I won the debate big, based on compilation of polls etc. Thank you!"
Trump did not disclose what polls or other information he was basing his tweet on.
A Twitter poll by Telemundo News found that 69% said Trump won and 31% said Biden won. White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany also cited a C-SPAN poll showing Trump won the debate 53% to Biden's 29%.
But a CBS News battleground tracker gave Biden the win in the debate 48% to 41%. Ten percent said it was a tie.
