Taunting Trump might not have been what undecided voters wanted to see from Harris - Washington Examiner
Trump pollsters Tony Fabrizio and Travis Tunis say that, according to their data from the top seven battleground states, the answer is no. “We found that despite the best efforts of Kamala Harris and [the] media to portray the debate as some kind of overwhelming win for her, voters did not see it this way as support for her remained flat,” they wrote in a memo released on Thursday. “The only change we saw was a 2-point bump for President Trump in both ballot configurations.”
“In our post-debate data, President Trump leads Vice President Harris by 2-points, 48% – 46%, and in the head-to-head ballot, he is up 3-points, 50% – 47%,” Fabrizio and Tunis continued. “Clearly, target state voters were not impressed by Kamala Harris’ empty platitudes and while the media would have people believe she is cruising to victory, this couldn’t be farther from the truth.” Their predebate numbers, they said, showed the two candidates tied.
You would perhaps expect this take from the Trump campaign. More independent numbers are needed, as well as more time for the voters to digest the debate. But focus groups of undecided voters convened by the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and Reuters found them unmoved, even if they agreed that Harris succeeded in rattling Trump.
