Debate viewers want rapid response by moderators to false claims on debate night

A survey from Boston University’s College of Communication found that 69% of people want the moderators at CNN’s June 27 presidential debate to “point out factual inaccuracies in candidates’ comments during the debate.”

Of Democrats, 81% supported the measure compared to 67% of Republicans. Twenty-one percent of respondents were indifferent, along with 10% who disagreed that candidates should be fact-checked in real time.
