Despite ABC’s Thumb on Scale For Harris, Most Undecided Voters Favored Trump After Debate

While most pundits have declared Kamala Harris the winner of Tuesday night’s debate, post-debate polls are showing undecided voters were not impressed.

ABC News placed its thumb on the scale firmly and undeniably in favor of Harris, fact-checking only former President Donald Trump, and allowing her get away with at least six thoroughly debunked whoppers such as the the Charlottesville “Fine People” hoax and the “bloodbath” hoax.

Despite this, most undecided voters who were interviewed by the New York Times and Reuters said they were now more inclined to vote for Trump.

New York Times reporters Jeremy W. Peters, Jack Healy and Campbell Robertson interviewed a number of undecided voters in five states and asked them whether the debate changed their views on the presidential race.

These voters were less than “effusive” about Harris’ performance, according to the Times.

In interviews, these undecided voters acknowledged that Ms. Harris seemed more presidential than Mr. Trump. And they said she laid out a sweeping vision to fix some of the country’s most stubborn problems.

But they also said she did not seem much different from Mr. Biden, and they wanted change. And most of all, what they wanted to hear — and didn’t — was the fine print.

One voter indicated that she wanted to hear specific policy proposals that differentiated from Biden’s record.

“She didn’t, kind of, separate herself,” the woman said, adding that she was “still on the fence.”

Keilah Miller, 34, a black woman who lives in Milwaukee, told the Times that she had always voted Democrat in past presidential elections “but decided to stop voting altogether about a year ago.”

She said her life, and the lives of other black women in Milwaukee, had not improved, she said.

Surprisingly, after the debate Tuesday, “she felt nudged unexpectedly toward Mr. Trump.”

“Trump’s pitch was a little more convincing than hers,” Ms. Miller said. “I guess I’m leaning more on his facts than her vision.”

“When Trump was in office — not going to lie — I was living way better,” she explained. “I’ve never been so down as in the past four years. It’s been so hard for me.”

A defense contractor in Southern Arizona told the Times that prior to the debate, “he had been resigned to skipping the election, unable to stomach either candidate.”

But like Miller,  “he came away from the debate leaning, tenuously, toward the Republican nominee,” the Times reported.

“Trump had the more commanding presentation,” Henderson said. “There was nothing done by Harris that made me think she’s better. In any way.”

Henderson, an Obama voter who went on to vote for Trump in 2016, said Trump may have “came off as crazy,” in some of his answers, but he was “no different from his appearances at rallies and in interviews.”

The defense contractor thought Trump’s answers on Ukraine were “weak,” but that he successfully attacked Harris on the border and immigration.

As he watched post-debate commentary on cable news, Mr. Henderson said he bristled at the pundits who widely panned Mr. Trump’s performance. Had they watched the same debate, he wondered.

Reuters conducted similar interviews with undecided voters post-debate and appeared disappointed that while “Kamala Harris was widely seen as dominating Tuesday’s presidential debate” … “a group of undecided voters remained unconvinced that the Democratic vice president was the better candidate.”

Out of ten undecided voters  Reuters interviewed, six said after the debate that “they would now either vote for Trump or were leaning toward backing him.”

Only three said they would now back Harris and one was still unsure how he would vote.

The Trump converts said they trusted him more on the economy, even though all said they did not like him as a person. They said their personal financial situation had been better when he was president between 2017-2021. Some singled out his proposal to tax foreign imports, although economists say that is likely to raise prices.

Four of those six also said Harris did not convince them she would pursue different economic policies than Democratic President Joe Biden, a Democrat they largely blame for the high cost of living.

“I still don’t know what she is for,” said Mark Kadish, 61, an entrepreneur in Florida. “There was no real meat and bones for her plans.”

An “instant poll” run by CNN after the debate appeared to corroborate this apparent reluctance among Americans to hand the struggling economy over to Harris.

The poll showed that significantly more people trust Trump with the economy, and that trust increased after the debate.
