Conservative Leader Stephen Harper was the winner in Thursday night's debate, followed closely by Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau, according to the latest results from Vote Compass, CBC's online voter engagement survey.
Vote Compass asked: "From what you saw, heard or read about the debate, who do you think won?"
In response, 37 per cent of respondents said Harper won, 35 per cent said Trudeau and 18 per cent said Mulcair.
The results are based on 6,523 respondents who participated in Vote Compass roughly between 11 p.m. on Sept. 17 to 11 a.m. on Sept. 18.
