A new national Reuters/Ipsos survey conducted entirely after Tuesday night’s debate finds Vice President Kamala Harris leading convicted felon former President Trump 47 to 42 percent among registered voters, a 1 point increase for Harris since their August 22nd survey found her leading Trump 45 to 41 percent. Among the respondents who said they had at least heard something about the debate, 53 percent said Harris won while 24 percent said Trump won, with the rest saying neither had or not answering. Some 52 percent of respondents said that Trump stumbled and didn’t appear sharp, while 21 percent said the same of Harris. Sounds like a cognitive test.
A very slight majority of Republican respondents – 53 percent – said Trump won the debate, while 31 percent said no one won and 14 percent said Harris won vs 91 percent of Dems who said Harris won.
Separately a Morning Consult national voter survey, also conducted entirely post-debate, found Harris up 50 to 45 percent over the Orange Shitbrain in a full field of all the third partiers, widening the gap the same pollster had found at 49 to 46 on Monday before the big showdown.
