Last week, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump clashed in their first and possibly final presidential debate before the November election.

A new national poll reveals that only a small percentage of voters have changed their stance on supporting Vice President Kamala Harris or former President Donald Trump due to last week's presidential debate.

Political pundits and media analysts predicted that Harris outperformed Trump in the debate, which was their first and possibly final meeting before Election Day on November 5th.

A Monmouth University poll revealed that only 3% of debate watchers said the Philadelphia showdown influenced their decision on whom to support as president.

Over 70% of respondents stated that the presidential nominees' debate did not affect their support for the candidate they were already backing in the White House race. Eight percent of those surveyed admitted that some doubts were raised but their support remained unchanged. Furthermore, 17% of the respondents did not witness or hear the debate.

Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute, stated that the shift in this election is being measured in inches rather than yards.

According to Murray, turning out 10,000 extra voters in a key swing state could determine the outcome of the race, even though polling provides a broad overview of the race.

In a few Planet Chronicle Channel interviews and on social media, Trump declared victory in the debate against Harris.

He wrote on social media that his best debate had ever been.

In a "Fox and Friends" interview, he contended that the night was excellent and they emerged victorious in the debate.

In her first rally following the debate, Harris accused Trump of repeating the same old tactics, without offering any new strategies to tackle the issues facing the American people, as he is more focused on himself rather than the needs of the public.

A Monmouth poll found that 49% of registered voters nationwide would either definitely or probably vote for Harris, with 39% saying definitely and 10% saying probably. In a separate question, just over four in 10 said they would definitely or probably cast a ballot for Trump, with 34% saying definitely and 10% saying probably.

After the debate, nearly every national poll shows Trump with a lower to mid-single digit advantage over Harris in the race to become President Biden's successor.

The 2024 presidential election outcome will depend on the margin-of-error race in the seven key battleground states.

According to Murray, "Trump is currently performing better among highly motivated voters than he is among the overall electorate. This includes a significant number of voters who may have abstained from voting in the 2020 election. They may have been disillusioned by the Trump era and stayed home, but now they are more dissatisfied with the Biden administration."

Democrats will attempt to motivate voters with concerns about Trump but who are not fully engaged in the election, according to him.

A Monmouth University poll was conducted from Sept. 11 to 15, involving 803 registered voters nationwide. The survey's overall sampling error is plus or minus 3.9 percentage points.
