In a recent survey of investors by Evercore ISI, 48% picked Trump to win the presidential debate on June 27, while 16% see Biden as the most likely victor. Some 36% expect "both to lose."

A USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll also predicted that former President Trump would win the upcoming head-to-head, with Independents giving Trump a 10-point advantage. Meanwhile, a "supercomputer", orchestrated by betting odds site Oddspedia concluded, after 1,000 simulations, that President Joe Biden had a 65% chance of beating Donald Trump on Thursday.

The CNN Presidential Debate promises to be the Super Bowl of politics, with 60% of voters saying they intend to tune in and 30% saying the debate could determine their vote. It is not hyperbole (as Biden might say) to suggest that the future of the United States – and perhaps the western world -- could rest on the outcome.

Winning, meanwhile, may be in the eye of the beholder. Unlike in past debates, this encounter will likely be judged more on presentation than policy.
