No, there isn't. What alternate reality are you living in, where people even remember what was said a week later?
Average americans aren't going to spend weeks analyzing every sound bite from the VP debate, even the media isn't even going to make the story last a full week cycle, nobody is going to remember any of it let alone come to new conclusions out of the blue.
Yes, there is. And voters aren't asked to remember the sum total or even small pieces of every notable event weeks (or even one week) later because that's not how campaign messaging works or even what campaigns expect of them. Campaigns are constantly using message reinforcement day-by-day, hour-by-hour, minute-by-minute to present their message(s) to voters, and then drive them home repeatedly so that they can win an argument
that lasts for 2 years but that a voter only spends 10 seconds in a voting booth to render a judgment. This is why you see ads run every day over the life of a campaign (by competent campaigns), surrogates on TV shows, candidates criss-crossing the country hosting events, campaigns flooding out press releases and using social media to reinforce their argument; they want every possible voter to hear and then
keep hearing a fine-tuned message.
This is why the strategy that Pence employed (and that Trump's campaign uses overall to just outright lie about his past positions or statements were) can only work short-term: we have the Internet now, Clinton started September with $150 mil COH between HfA/her DNC committees. Voters are going to be seeing both earned and paid media that reinforces the reality that the Trump campaign is not only just fundamentally dishonest, but that Trump's the most dishonest candidate in the history of the country.

as if a glorified intern at a polling company qualifies as an 'average american' :rofl:
Another swing, another miss. Better luck next time.
