Early Signs of a Post-Debate Bounce for Harris

Nate Cohn: “The first few polls taken entirely since Tuesday’s debate show her faring better than polls taken beforehand. If history is any guide, it will still be a few more days — perhaps another week — until the full scope of any post-debate bounce becomes evident…”

“Overall, Vice President Harris leads Mr. Trump by three percentage points nationwide, according to The New York Times’s polling average. Already, that’s about a point better for Ms. Harris than our average Wednesday.”

“The contest is even tighter in the critical battleground states, where no candidate leads by even a single percentage point in enough states to win the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency. The current leader in the poll average in five of the seven swing states — Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina and Arizona — is ahead by just one point or less.”
