Reuters Survey: Trump Favored 2-to-1 by Undecided Voters Following Debate

Following the recent ABC News presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, a Reuters survey indicates a significant lean towards Trump among undecided voters. The survey, which sampled 10 undecided voters, revealed that six are now leaning towards Trump, three towards Harris, with one remaining undecided.

Undecided Voters’ Reaction

The undecided voters who favored Trump cited Harris’s vague answers on economic issues as a driving factor. They expressed greater trust in Trump’s economic policies, particularly amidst high living costs and economic uncertainty.

Economic Concerns

Economic concerns dominated the feedback from undecided voters. Four of the six who leaned towards Trump blamed Harris for failing to clearly differentiate her economic policies from those of President Joe Biden. This dissatisfaction was rooted in the current economic hardships blamed on the Biden administration.

Voter Feedback

Quotes from undecided voters highlighted their dissatisfaction with Harris’s debate performance. Robert Wheeler from Nevada remarked, I felt like the whole debate was Kamala Harris telling me why not to vote for Donald Trump instead of why she’s the right candidate. Mark Kadish from Florida added, I still don’t know what she is for. There was no real meat and bones for her plans.

Public Perception of Change

According to a *New York Times*/Siena College poll, 61% of likely voters believe the next president should represent a significant change from the Biden-Harris administration. Only 25% saw Harris as this change, while a majority identified Trump as the candidate who could bring it about.

Harris’s Campaign Challenges

Harris’s campaign is entangled in a dilemma: critiquing the Biden-Harris administration’s policies without undermining her own record. This complicates her ability to present distinct policies on critical issues like crime, inflation, and border security.

General Voter Sentiment

Despite some pundits declaring Harris the debate winner, the event had a notable impact on undecided voters, who, by a significant margin, found Trump’s arguments and presentation more convincing.
