The latest polling from Rasmussen Reports shows no debate fallout for Donald Trump. The former president still leads sitting Vice President Kamala Harris nationally by two points, 49 to 47 percent.
“This is our first survey to fully reflect the impact of the September 10 televised debate between the two candidates,” writes Rasmussen, “and there has been no major change since last week when Trump held the same 49% to 47% lead over Harris.”
At the beginning of September, in this same poll, Trump led Harris by only a single point. He has held a two-point lead for two weeks in a row now.
Rasmussen surveyed 1,855 likely voters on September 12 and 15-18. The debate was held on September 10.
The internals look very good for Trump. He earns 30 percent of black support to Kamala’s 65 percent. (That should be closer to 12 to 88 percent.) He is only down with Hispanics by four points, 44 to 48 percent. He leads with independents by four points, 49 to 45 percent.
In the age demo, Harris leads by only a single point among 18-39 year-olds, 47 to 46 percent. Among those 40-64 years old, Trump is up 51 to 45 percent. Kamala narrowly leads with the 65 and older crowd, 50 to 47 percent.
That partisan breakdown is 35 percent Democrats, 33 percent Republicans, and 32 percent “other” or independent.
Rasmussen is the second top pollster to show no statistical fallout from Trump’s awful debate performance. The latest New York Times/Siena poll had Trump up by a single point before the debate. Today, this same pollster shows the race tied at 47 percent.
