The reality is that, so far, there's little polling evidence that Biden's lost much support since the debate. But that's not gonna permeate the bluesky ecosystem because election/polling twitter didn't migrate over here.
All is not lost. Don’t act like all is lost.

Trump is going to have to pick up 3 of the following 5 to win: GA, AZ, PA, MI and WI. That’s tough when you consider PA & MI elected Dem govs by 10%+ in the last 4yrs, abortion is on the ballot in AZ w/ a 🍌🍌🍌state GOP, the GA GOP is still pissed about the phone call, and WI has a new Dem gov & map

Yes but have you considered a leaked internal poll that showed a 1 %-pt debate hit but Biden only up 2 in NM VA and MN pre-debate.

And the MIGOP is in the midst of a leadership crisis, broke and, based on anecdotal on the ground observations in Oakland County, not building much enthusiasm

Genuinely, thank you for this. It really makes me feel better

On top of that, Trump has handed the reins of the RNC to his daughter in law, who doesn’t exactly have a background in politics, and whose primary function is to funnel $$$ from the RNC into Trump related businesses. The problem with a cult of personality is that it tends to attract the unqualified.

my main thing is, do debates matter to voters or don't they? please weigh in, political scientists

google says they do not but it would be great to get confirmation

There are 4 months until the election. A TON can happen. It’s insane to act like the election is over.

Nearly every poll is showing huge numbers of undecideds. We need to win those groups. If we do, we can win this election.

Umm. The poll was conducted from June 26-28. The debate was on the 28th.

The debate was mid poll. This is the totality of pre and Post polling.

sure, but there's also good reason not to put more stock in that poll than others. It's far too soon after the debate to know how much it's mattered. I'm just suggesting caution.

More importantly to what they are trying to push, there isn't anyone who wants the job that is doing _better_ (I think, Michelle Obama polled better, but, IIRC, she practically laughed at the idea of running)
