The incumbent always struggles in the first debate. The only debate that was a game changer was in 1980, but there were other issues that assisted that. Mondale won the 1st debate in 1984, one can argue Perot won the 1st debate in 1992, and Kerry destroyed Bush in 2004. It doesn't matter that much, because as we've seen, Bush still won in 2004, and Reagan's performance in the general election goes without saying. This won't be a game changer.
