Rubio was the clear debate winner according to 31%, with Bush 3%, Fiorino 3%, and Kasich 0% the clear losers. While Trump still came in fourth, only 10% gave him the win -- a definite demotion for him.
As to who helped, and who hurt, his campaign, voters said this:
Rubio helped himself by a net +40%, and Kasich hurt himself with a net score of minus 45%. He comes across as whiny, cranky, and unappealing -- even though to moderate voters he should be the best of them all on policy issues and actual accomplishments. But only 3% had an improved opinion, while 48% had a worse opinion, of Kasich. With Bush it was 10% improved, 34% worse.
Because Bush needed badly to turn around his sliding streak, his minus 3% was almost as devastating.
