Impact Of The Debate May Be Overstated
I was wondering why my prediction that the debate would have no impact turned out to be so completely wrong. The answer may be that it didn't, it just happened to occur as the Liberal Democrats were on the rise.
It is hard to know whether the first televised debate had an impact, without knowing how the people who were polled after debate were planning to vote before the debate. After the general election results have been revealed, the impact of the televised debates will still be unknown and disputed.

It is difficult to distinguish between those who watched the debate and those who reacted to the coverage of the debate.
Surely the YouGov daily polls didn't show this, though?
You could be right.
