Kamala Harris was widely seen as dominating Tuesday's presidential debate against Republican former president Donald Trump, but a group of undecided voters remained unconvinced that the Democratic vice president was the better candidate.
Reuters interviewed 10 people who were still unsure how they were going to vote in the Nov. 5 election before they watched the debate. Six said afterward they would now either vote for Trump or were leaning toward backing him. Three said they would now back Harris and one was still unsure how he would vote. ...
Although the sample size was small, the responses suggested Harris might need to provide more detailed policy proposals to win over voters who have yet to make up their minds.
Five said they found Harris vague during the more than 90-minute debate on how she would improve the U.S. economy and deal with the high cost of living, a top concern for voters.
....
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."
....
Harris did mention some policy specifics, including her plan to offer tax benefits .... But she focused much of the debate on attacking Trump rather than laying out detailed policies.

He didn’t. Again, the Aphabets articles and poll groups were already written.
The issues on his side, he should’ve won hands-down, regardless Val bias, the moderators
Sabotage is another applicable word.
If there is another debate it won’t be with two Democrat party operatives as moderators. This debate only steeled my resolve to get out and vote Trump. There is nothing to the Harris candidacy. If there were, she’d be president already.
What’s amazing is that there are still undecided voters out there.
“Six said afterward they would now either vote for Trump or were leaning toward backing him. Three said they would now back Harris and one was still unsure how he would vote.”
So the headline really should have been “Harris lost the debate in the eyes of undecided voters”.
Taylor Swift can provide pollsters with a reason to change turnout models, but the change will be difficult to choose.
I would guess young white women might get a % or two elevation in the models, but I think the vast majority of pollsters weight by race and weight by women/men and may weight by age, but not combinations. Trying to do so would diminish black weightings, and those are 75% Harris. It might move the needle against her.
Harris is a mental lightweight.
“(the smirking, eye rolling and condescending head shaking).“
That didn’t help Al Gore.
I can’t see how anyone can honestly be undecided. Either you like the Biden/Harris last four years or you don’t.
The stakes are high because if she wins, free speech is on it’s way out.
What are you talking about? It's ALWAYS Democrat party operatives as moderators.
All Harrass had was: we’re gonna gibs people more gibs, we’re gonna abort baby abort, and we have plans to move forward in our planning to make plans for an America that is more planned for everyone.
Worst of all was her voice. She's like a homely Fran Drescher.
Right, she didn’t fall on her face, like most people thought she would, so she eccedec expectations. But Trump drew blood on her record.
Does anybody have the “time of possession” statistic?
It seemed to me that Harris was allowed to drone on and on. The moderators never shut her up while they often interrupted Trump.
If you didnt like camela before you don’t like her now
If u weren’t sure she didn’t help herself
If u liked her before you love her still
If people are still undecided at this time, they gotta be brain dead.
