hey what's up everyone we want to welcome you to another episode of here is what I think with your host Charles Deans where we discuss current events economics politics and how it all affects business uh and life so let's get into this topic here this is one I've been really itching to to really get into uh I'm sure all of you saw the US uh presidential debate it was very it was full of highlights High moments some low moments some pretty funny parts like when President Donald Trump said they're eating the what did he said they're eating the the the the the dogs they're eating the cats they're eating the pets when he said that I literally fell out of my chair watching it it was it was absolutely hilarious and um in the aftermath of that however uh the vast majority of people out there believe that kamla Harris uh won that debate that seems to be the general sentiment but what I've been trying to figure out is what are the polls saying since that debate this is the information I've been trying to unearth ever since then because really that's what matters right beyond the fact that people feel okay this person won that person won what are the polls saying so I did a little bit of research to morning I was able to come across uh an article that I'm getting here from forbes.com uh that I want to read so I have a few but I want to read this one first this article starts off with a headline saying Harris expands lead over Trump in first post debate polls vice president uh Kamal uh Camala Harris leads former president Donald Trump by five points in the first two major uh National Post taken following Tuesday debate in which pundants widely consider Harris the winner now let's get over to let's go to the key facts Harris is up 50% to 45 over Trump in a morning um conso survey conducted Wednesday of 3,3 uh7 likely voters her widest lead yet uh in the group in in the groups's presidential election surveys and a slight improvement from her fourpoint lead uh in a survey taken on the day of the debate and from her three-point lead in pre-debate surveys a two-day ruers uh poll that closed Thursday also found Harris leading by Five Points 47 to 42 and one point uh a one point increase from her advantage in an August 2020 uh 21 to 28 uh poll the ruers poll found 53% of Voters who said they had heard at least something about the debate said Harris won while 40 while 24% said Trump won and the rest didn't answer far more Democrats 91% also said Harris W compared to 53% of Republicans who said Trump did according to another poll the majority which is 52% uh respondents familiar with the debate said Trump didn't appear sharp compared to 21% who said uh that's the same about Harris and then the article then goes on to say a few other things and some comments highlight some comments uh that Chris Wallace had to say I also want to go over some key key information about the Battleground States I want to get go over that quickly this is from the real cpo.com and I just want to share this information with you it says top Battleground States let's look at them we have Arizona Nevada Wisconsin Michigan Pennsylvania North Carolina and Georgia so let's go over the data here um let's look at the spread Harris seems uh har excuse me in Arizona Trump seems to be leading there he's plus 1.6 Nevada Harris seems to be leading plus and she's a plus point Wisconsin she has a lead plus 1.8 we have Michigan she has a lead plus uh 0.9 then we have a TI in Pennsylvania I believe she was leading in Pennsylvania heading into the debate I could be wrong but we have a tie there and that's a very very crucial state for with a lot of electorial uh votes so they're definitely going to be spending a lot of resources there both candidates I'm talking about we have North Carolina where Trump is leading and we have Georgia where Trump is leading so if you look at this right now they're saying the overall spread right looking at the Battleground States there's seven 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 uh she's plus two overall right plus two prior to the debate um I think Trump was leading in four uh she was leading in three but now it seems like one is a tie and is basically is even he's leading in three which are Arizona North Carolina and Georgia and she's leading in Wisconsin no excuse me Michigan Wisconsin yes uh and Nevada so the race is very close right it's too close to call right now which is really incredible actually which is really really incredible to me what this signifies is that look uh these candidates still have a lot of work to do yes if you're a commala supporter after that debate you're going to be feeling pretty pretty good good about yourself but you should by no means sit back and relax if you're Trump supporter you're feeling a little bit uh uh disappointed in his performance and what people are saying you don't need to fret too much because he still has a chance quite quite literally given some of this Poland data that we're sharing with you so look we think it's a close race we're going to be paying attention to it closely and we're going to keep you guys posted to the best of our abilities the question to the audience is simply this what do you make of the data that we presented before you number one number two how do you ultimately see this thing playing out in a realistic way do you see Trump ultimately pulling ah head or do you think kamala's kamla is going to come back and somehow find a way to win the election whatever you guys think please your thoughts in the comment section we catch you guys on the next show peace
