US Presidential Debate: Approval Ratings Remain Unchanged

A recent post-TV debate poll released by ABC News and polling firm Ipsos has revealed that the approval ratings of Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican candidate former President Donald Trump remain largely unchanged from before the debate.

According to the poll, Harris’s approval rating stands at 51%, while Trump’s is at 46%. This is not significantly different from the pre-debate ratings, where Harris was at 50% and Trump was at 46%.

Despite winning the TV debate, Harris’s approval ratings have not seen a significant boost. Additionally, pop star Taylor Swift’s public declaration of support for Harris has not led to a notable change in her approval ratings.

ABC News attributes this to the fact that “voters are so firmly divided between the two camps that it is unlikely they will change their minds.” This suggests that the debate has not had a significant impact on the opinions of voters.

Meanwhile, Trump supporters are expected to rally further as former President Trump faces a second assassination attempt.
