The new national reuters ipsos poll has harris ahead by five points let’s take a look at that right now seen ontario and and it’s here with much more harry can you give us some context around that margin and the movement that you’re seeing and polling post debate yeah i think it’s rather important to point out that the earth ipsos poll has actually been one of harris’s best so look you get that five point margin right that forty seven forty two that you mention post that they but that’s actually not a lot of movement from where we were in august when harris’s up my for now that is movement from where we were in late july when harris was up by to but the bottom line.
Doing here is this at least in the first polling that we’re getting post this debate between donald trump and camo hours maybe so lives like slight movement and harris’s direction but not overwhelmingly so so which i don’t think is really much of a surprise given the fifteen fifty nation we are right now but the bottom line is in the average of polls ours had a slight nationally and at this particular point i think you’re probably hold on to that at least based upon this initial signal that didn’t hurt her maybe and now didn’t also like it wasn’t of the data that and isn’t that the nail in a coffin for donald from canada see either which is exactly kind of what people expected with this debate in the fifties -fish fifty nation.
We’re in right now what is the biggest difference though you see in polls these these polls compared to those that came after the biden trump debate in june. i mean look at all comes down to mental state and be able a deal with challenges all right so mental shore up i can deal with challenges look at this back in the posted june debate right look at that fifty two percent of voters said that in fact trump was mentally shopping a deal with challenges look at joe biden number it was just twenty six percent now look at the difference your look at this fifty eight percent in the post september debate.
Paul said that harris was mentally sharper good deal a child is trump’s number actually dropped below fifty percent down to just forty six so that fifty two to forty six so this was the big change that i think a lot of democrats are hoping for when they switched out by and for harris it came down a mental sharpness and the bottom line is the clear majority of voter. I believe that kamala harris is mentally shopping deal with challenges and the number for trump that climb by six points between post june and post september i think that’s a very welcome sign for democrats on the top line maybe not so much movement nationally but underneath the hood i think democrats really up the like what they say in talking with people on tv .
The harris campaign and then hearing from democrats involved with the campaign one of the things you hear is that everyone feels eighty great in the debate the question is can reach the undecided voters yeah in i’m not sure they have an answer least not the answer they want yet what leads me to this question will what will. he is in undecided voter where are they in who are that yeah well look part of the challenge here is that undecided voters are undecided because they’re not really focused on this campaign. the they are low information voters they tend to be younger and likely that they they didn’t watch the debate they may be seeing some social media.
But they’re hard to reach voters and they may make the difference in this race or the undecided between the candidates are the undecided about whether they show up to vote will i think a little of both i think one important thing to note is they probably have a pretty strong judgment about donald trump. they’re skeptical about politics generally. they don’t particularly like trump but they don’t know very much about karma harris they’re open to her but they’re also prepared to be disappointed by her as well so a big task for the campaign is to continue to fill in the picture of her and particularly around sort of transactional.
