Kamala Harris Might Want to Halt Her Post-Debate Victory Lap After Seeing This
Townhall, Sep 12, 2024

A joint Trafalgar-Insider Advantage survey of likely general election voters in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin showed each candidate with 47 percent support prior to the debate. When asked who won the debate, Harris came out ahead, 55.3 percent to Trump’s 42.5 percent, while 2.2 percent thought it was a draw. Respondents were then asked, “Considering tonight’s debate performances, if you had to vote tomorrow, for whom would you vote?” Harris and Trump were again tied at 48 percent, with 3 percent undecided and 1 percent choosing “other.”

RESULTS of our joint @trafalgar_group @InsiderPolling #PresidentialDebate2024 #Battlegroundstate #poll.

1) Supporting for president before the debate.

47% Trump
47% Harris
2% Others
4% Undecided

2) Who won the debate?

55% Harris
43% Trump
2% Tie

3) Who are you voting for now?

48% Trump
48% Harris
1% Others
3% Undecided



[...]

Other surveys found voters trust Trump more than Harris on the economy and immigration--issues that have consistently ranked at the top of the list of voter concerns.

Despite her win, debate-watchers still preferred Trump by 20 points on the economy (55-35) and 23 points on immigration (56-33). Those are actually bigger margins than he usually racks up on these issues, so it seems possible Trump’s attacks on the Biden administration’s record on these issues landed with some effect. (We’ll await more polling on these issues.) (WaPo)

It’s true, just winning a debate, or losing, doesn’t translate to same for the whole election.

I’m still voting Trump regardless of how he performs.

Debates really don’t mean anything except the tiny few who aren’t already aligned or otherwise committed.  Like 5% at best I’m sure.
Common sense is an uncommon virtue.

-Our poll shows Harris easily won —crushed Trump!— and will gain in post-debate polls
-Our poll finds most debate watchers — 55 % to 35% — say President Trump would better handle the economy than Kamala Harris. She lost ground pic.twitter.com/gcEcJe4qnD— K Fitton (@KelFitton) September 11, 2024.  https://x.com/KelFitton/status/1833900175359897928

.@mowers: Reuters had 60% of voters who said that they moved to Trump after watching the debate. The reason they gave was that Kamala was evasive on the economy. pic.twitter.com/NCJufcOacn— Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) September 11, 2024  Video: https://x.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/1833956344182849840

CNN Undecided Voter: "My life was better when Trump was in office. The economy was better. Inflation was lower. Things were better overall. And now, with Kamala's administration, things haven't been so fantastic. She's saying she can fix the problems that her administration has caused, but I don't know if I can afford to take that risk." pic.twitter.com/J1XWCSJYHB— KanekoaTheGreat (@KanekoaTheGreat) September 11, 2024.

🚨JUST IN: Post-debate @CNN poll shows Trump INCREASING his advantage on the issues of the economy and illegal immigration.  Polls show these are the two most important issues to the American people.  https://x.com/Pro__Trading/status/1833968827404857555

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Ironic they'd find Kamala the Unelected as better supporting "Democracy".

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
