Final Presidential debate a more civil affair

Trump and Biden met in person again for a final presidential debate, 12 days head of the election. The debate was seen as a more civil affair than the first debate, largely because opponents microphones were muted when not responding. The debate had more of a focus on policy responses and the state of the nation under the virus. Both talked at length on topics like race, immigration, and the future of the oil industry.  The outcome of the debate seems to have favoured Biden purely because Trump failed to land enough punches to change the stakes in any meaningful way. Biden remains ahead in the polls by 8.4%.
