    I’ve been tracking polling all year and you can see the past few weeks of progress here:

    Harris is losing ground in AZ, GA, PA and MI. If that slide continues with no debate bump it’s going to be super hard to pull out a win.

    WI moved to toss up. MI is on the verge of moving from Harris to toss up next week. PA and AZ have outright moved to the Trump category.

    There’s time to reverse it… but man…

      Yeah. The surprise nominee change and DNC bumps are ebbing and the debate will likely be a blip at best.

      It’s like there’s an unceasing gravity to Trump’s numbers, like being choked by a boa constrictor. I think that’s largely a result of his polling numbers being much “harder” than Harris, i.e. the percent of each candidates numbers that will never change their mind for and reason whatsoever and will always and fully support their candidate no matter what is much higher for Trump than Harris.

      I’ll add that it wouldn’t surprise me at all if Swift’s endorsement did more for Harris than the debate does. Kooky times we live in.
