TRENTON -- Republican candidate Mike Pence and Democratic candidate Tim Kaine squared off Tuesday night in their only vice presidential debate.

Pence, the governor of Indiana and Donald Trump's running mate, battled Kaine, a U.S. senator from Virginia and Hillary Clinton's running mate, at Longwood University in Farmville, Va.

The debate came exactly five weeks before Election Day, Tuesday Nov. 8.

Clinton recently has seen a rise in the polls after her first debate with Trump last month, according to the Real Clear Politics average of polls. The majority of scientific polls said Clinton beat Trump in the debate, though Trump claims he won many unscientific online polls.

Pence and Kaine won't debate again. But Clinton and Trump will debate two more times -- this coming Sunday, Oct. 9, in St. Louis, and Oct. 19 in Las Vegas.

Both Pence and Kaine beat out New Jersey politicians to claim their places on the presidential tickets.

Trump, a former Atlantic City casino mogul, picked Pence over Gov. Chris Christie and former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

Clinton chose Kaine, a former Virginia governor, over a pool of candidates that included U.S. Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.).

So who do you think won Tuesday's VP debate: Pence or Kaine? Vote in the informal, unscientific poll below.
