Harris’s new lead is more about her gaining ground than Trump slipping. While the former president has held steady around 45%, Harris is now winning a significantly higher share of Democrats (95% vs. 90%) and 2020 Biden voters (92% vs. 80%) than Biden was.

And Harris is flipping independents as well. Before Tuesday’s debate, Harris trailed Trump by 9 points (35% to 44%) with that crucial bloc; she now leads by 10 (47% to 37%).

Among Americans who either watched the debate or followed the subsequent coverage of it, a full 56% say that Harris won. Just 26% say the same about Trump. In a break with longstanding partisan patterns, the number of Democrats who say Harris won (94%) is nearly 40 points higher than the number of Republicans who say Trump did (57%). Just 21% of independents think the former president came out on top.

1. I'm trying to wrap my head around 21% of independents who think tRump won that debate......

I have to assume they were MAGATs who lied about being independent, NOBODY in their right mind can say tRump won that. Between him resorting to telling desperate, obvious lies (babies being aborted and murdered at 9 months, pets being stolen to eat) and his admitting he had no healthcare plan, HE GOT HIS ASS HANDED TO HIM.

and say he is the stronger of the two.

4. Morons.

They obviously don’t know their own party’s presidential history. Teddy Roosevelt, in a letter to Henry L. Sprague, said, “Talk softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.”

I’d be willing to bet most of the MAGAts can’t even tell you what that means, either.
