Trafalgar Group polls taken during and right after the debate showed that the event didn’t make a big difference in how much people supported the candidates.
It was also taken in places that will be very important in the 2024 election.
Two thousand and twenty-five people in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin filled out the poll.
55.3% of those who watched thought Harris had won the debate with former President Trump, while only 42.5 % thought Trump had won.
But it also showed that the results were statistically the same as they were before the debate when it came to the very important question of which candidate people would vote for.
At the start of the debate, the poll showed that Trump had a small lead, with 47.4 percent of the vote to 46.8 percent for Clinton…. The study found that Trump still had a small lead after the debate, with 48.2 percent to 47.9 percent.
To put it simply, it’s a wash.
Even though David Muir and Linsey Davis, the presenters for ABC, tried hard, that didn’t work out.
Beginning early Wednesday morning, Fox News reported that Muir and Davis got involved and “fact-checked” Trump five times during the debate, but never did the same for Harris.
Fox said in a different article that Harris misunderstood what Trump said about the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017. The reporters didn’t say anything about it, so Trump had to say that Harris’s claim was “debunked.”
She changed the way he used the word “bloodbath” to talk about what would happen if he lost the race. It was clear that Trump was talking about the future of the U.S. car business.
She tried to connect him to “Project 2025,” a book of ideas put together by the Heritage Foundation, a right group. Trump has said in public that he doesn’t support the idea.
