The first presidential debate spurred about 10.5 million debate-related tweets. It was the most tweeted about event in U.S. history.

Like many of you, KMTV Action 3 News followed along with Twitter while watching the second debate. The social media stats have yet to come out, but some moments created more buzz than others.

Twitter users seemed to perk up every time the candidates got a bit more fiesty.

Social media is certainly not a poll since many people are simply offering their opinions, including their biases.
