"The political history collections at the National Museum of American History include several objects that can help explore the impact of debates on voters and campaigns."
"The presence of televisions in 90% of American homes in 1960 combined with a federal law made it easier to air live political discussions, leading to the first televised presidential debates."
"More than half the voters in 1960 said the debates had influenced their votes, establishing a significant presence for debates in presidential campaigns going forward."
