Kamala Harris’s post-debate bounce is now visible in the polls

Contrary to Mr Trump’s claims, Ms Harris clearly won the debate. Several surveys have confirmed what CNN’s flash poll suggested on the night: that a large majority of Americans thought Ms Harris bested Mr Trump, who repeatedly waded into the traps his rival laid for him and came across as angry and rambling. A YouGov poll reported that 55% of debate-watchers thought Ms Harris won, against 25% for Mr Trump; ABC‘s scored it 58% to 36% for Ms Harris. A good night for the Democrat was capped by an endorsement from Taylor Swift.
