I do not really agree with you.

It matters also who certain groups of voters call the winner.  The debates are not intended to have each candidate simply lecture to their base and go home and then poll who has the bigger base. 

The point of the debate is to get your message to the undecided voters.  So any "poll" showing who popular opinion thinks won is mostly useless, unless it is of true undecided voters.  The next problem is of course, how many of those actually exist?  Not very many.
