    TLDR - Kamala won the debate, but Trump picked up more voters from it.

        Nate ranks them 79th in terms of reliability. He hasn’t updated his forecast because no pollster he considers reliable has come out with new data.

          Great. So go back to the NYT/Sienna poll. Trump 48% - Harris 47%. How many of that 48% do you think changed their mind? Do you think that a single person that responded they were going to vote for Trump switched their vote?

          That leaves “undecided” and non-responsive. Trump has always outperformed in these groups. Donald outperformed polls by over 3% in each of the last two elections do you expect any different this time?

          A ridiculously small sample size, but Reuters interviewed 10 undecided voters before and after the debate. Almost all agreed that Kamala won, but 6 said they were closer to voting for Trump after the debate, 3 towards Kamala, and 1 unmoved by either.

                I saw the video, it was actually pretty nice. Biden (wow, he looks even older now) was having a fun convo with a guy in a Trump hat. He asked if he should sign a Presidential hat and the civilian says "hell no, you can't even remember your name" or something like that, which Biden jokes "yeah I'm pretty slow" but then they swap hats. Anyway... he's embracing the IDGAF mentality now.

                      Perception is reality.

                      People in the city we're talking about believe that story. There's enough smoke, that a lot of people in similarly affected places believe that story.

                      It matters not one red rolling rat's ass if Jon's neighbors believe that story or not.

                          I think the one aspect on which the two candidates converged is that questions should be thought of as topic suggestions for your next round of talking points.

                            You don't become a viable national politician by answering questions directly or honestly. The talent is in seeming to have answered while not actually answering. Neither of those two made a good show of seeming to answer.

                                Read the transcript of the debate. It was a spaghetti of talk - almost never answering the question asked.

                                      Still an unreported conflict of interest.

                                      Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

                                        Yeah, I rolled my eyes at that one. I don’t see that as being any kind of conflict of interest. I bet there have been a lot more egregious examples in the past.

                                          That being a conflict of interest is like me saying as a Manchester physics alumnus I was involved in splitting the atom.

                                          Which of course I was.

                                          I was only joking
