ABC News Debate Causes Undecided Voters to Vote or Lean Trump
Breitbart ^ | 09/11/2024 | Wendell Husebø

Posted on 09/11/2024 8:12:52 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

A Reuters and New York Times sampling of undecided voters following Tuesday’s debate indicated former President Donald Trump won support from swing voters.

The debate, which was widely criticized for bias on the part of the ABC News moderators, was mostly seen as a draw between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. “These ‘moderators’ are complete hacks,” Michael Knowles posted on X. “It’s three on one, and Trump is still winning!” Some political pundits predicted the debate would have little effect on the election. According to a Reuters sampling, however, six out of ten undecided voters said they were leaning towards Trump due to Harris’s “vague” answers and because they “trusted” Trump more on the economy, the top issue of the 2024 cycle.

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.

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.

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.

A sample size of ten is too small for any kind of projection.

one was still unsure how he would vote.

This person, and any others like him/her/it/they/xe/zir, should refrain from voting. He/She/It/They/Xe/Zir is too damn stupid to be allowed to vote.

No wonder Kamala and the Democrats want another debate.

If she wants another debate, then her campaign must think that it helped her.

The face-pulling gesture was a sign to the moderators to rescue her from the hole she was in.

One thing which is mentioned repeatedly in Proverbs is how God hates-hates-hates unfair balances (eg. biased moderation in a debate).

Proverbs 20:23:
Differing weights are detestable to the Lord, and dishonest scales are unfair.

This seems about right but we need a bigger sample.

It’s not a sample. It’s an anecdote, probably selectively rigged to create a desired conclusion.

A sample size of only 10 in a focus group isn’t nearly big enough for me. For example in today’s PBS Newshour (9/11/2024), the reporter said that a focus group of 9 voters created by a never Trumper said the debate changed all 9 from being “undecided” to voting for Harris. I don’t trust this focus group since it was organized by a never Trumper but Trafalgar Group’s poll of over 1000 gives me more confidence that this debate really didn’t change the race in the 7 swing states. In my opinion Trump was a bit too overconfident coming into the debate and should have studied Harris previous debates even more.

Or didn’t help her. Likely means her internal polling isn’t looking good.
