Trump lost the debate badly. Will probably cost him the election unless something dramatic occurs within the next few weeks.
always read Sean Trende. He's pretty much saying what I've been saying - yeah, debate coaches will call the debate a clear Harris win. But she's not getting much of a bounce from it, perhaps because she didn't really need to win the debates on points. She needed to persuade Americans to vote for her. Appears she did not do much to help her in that regard.

The only polls to the contrary are Rasmussen and Atlas (Brazilian).
All the forecasters have Harris as the favorite except Silver, and even he has Trump's lead shrinking.
Betting markets moved to Harris.
This may or may not be sustained, but we cannot deny that Harris won the debate and helped herself.
But I'm still old school. Generally speaking, if the vast majority of polls say something, they likely are right at least at that point in time.
You should also consider what is being said. CNN, for example, said voters they asked thought Harris won the debate, but Trump gained support on the top two issues among those same voters.
Never just go by the headline. You have to look at the details to get the facts.
All true.
But there have been 10 post-debate polls. 8 of them have Harris improving her position and up 3 to 6 points.
In my view, those are probably accurate, and Rasmussen and the Brazilian form are the outliers. And BTW Rasmussen has Trump up only 2 and in prior polls had him up 3 to 5.
If nothing else, if Harris did so well, why is it Harris who immediately wanted another debate?
Why? She is feeling emboldened. Scary man was not so scary.
Meanwhile Trump and Vance are stuck on Summerfield stories that are being debunked daily. Smells like a set-up, as usual Trump took the bait and will not let it go.
Dems are having fun. They have him talking about stuff that has nothing to do with the issues. When will he not take the bait.
Gov. Mike DeWine of Ohio, a Republican, said in an interview on ABC News that the claim that migrants in Springfield, Ohio, were eating pets was "a piece of garbage that was simply not true."
Of course he would say that. To admit it makes him look bad It's Kemp/Raffensberger 2.0
