Republicans saw Biden as a lying sack of shit (which he is), and Democrats saw Ryan as a weaselly liar.
Based on the polling, independents didn't really like either of them, felt that Biden "won" but were put off by his arrogant and rude demeanor. Even so, the numbers were split far closer to the national split in terms of who "won", which says that this debate was probably not going to change much.
I do have to admit Biden did better, at times, than I thought he would.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

Sorry, given their small sample size, that's a statistical tie, not a win.
