I think it isn't much overrated. I have to admit that Reagan did extremely well (the 2020 Democrat should perform like this). I always felt that his closing statement ("are you better off than you were four years ago?") has the final nail in Carter's reelection coffin. Even if I didn't know the outcome, I would have said "that's it, Carter is done."

Reagan was much weaker in his 1984 debates, probably due to early stages of Alzheimer.
