The second GOP primary debate in Simi Valley, California on Wednesday night saw a surprising performance from entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, who topped the ratings and polls among the 546 Republicans who watched the event, according to a survey conducted exclusively for DailyMail.com, defyning the initial report where UN Ambassador and Gov. Nikki Haley outshined.
Ramaswamy, a 38-year-old political newcomer, scored a 6.9 out of 10, the highest rating among the seven candidates on stage, followed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis with a 6.5.
Ramaswamy also received the highest percentage of respondents (35 percent) who said he won the debate, while Christie received the highest percentage (20 percent) who said he lost.Christie also earned the dubious distinction of being the most annoying candidate on stage.DeSantis, who has been trailing former President Donald Trump in most polls for months, did not have a breakthrough moment either. He tied with Ramaswamy for being the most presidential (19 percent each) and was voted the most competent (26 percent), but he did not dominate the conversation or impress the viewers as much as Ramaswamy did.
