Kamala Harris Wins Debate Against Trump, Race Still Tight

Despite Harris' debate victory and Taylor Swift's endorsement, polls show the presidential race remains highly competitive.

Kamala Harris was widely seen as the winner of the debate, with polls showing 58% of respondents favoring her performance over Trump's 36%.
Post-debate polls indicate that Harris holds a slight lead over Trump, but the margins remain statistically unchanged from before the debate.
Taylor Swift's endorsement of Harris resulted in a surge of visits to Vote.gov, but had little impact on voter preferences.
Trump's debate performance was criticized for failing to effectively counter Harris' points and for focusing on personal grievances rather than policy issues.
Despite the debate results, voters continue to trust Trump more on key issues like the economy and immigration, while Harris is favored on healthcare and protecting democracy.
