Was that 12 points swinging towards Trump as the debate winner or was that people changing their vote? Because those are very different things. I would be surprised if it were the latter.

The debate winner. And yeah it's different but also telling when Biden has won easily every other time.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I really don't think that it's telling at all. I have a very difficult time believing someone would suddenly consider a dictator over the possibility of Kamala Harris stepping in like they hadn't already.

It's worth remembering that our elections are generally very close. It doesn't take a ton of people in a battle state to change their minds.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Sure, but there's also a lot of time between now an November.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

That is also true. Another breakpoint coming up is Trump's sentencing. Apparently focus groups report they're less likely to vote for him if he gets a sentence including a jail or prison term.

There's also that documentary which may or may not come out about Trump being racist during The Apprentice. We'll see if that has an effect.
