Additionally, 60% of respondents to the poll described the debate as “good,” compared to just 42% for the previous one between Joe Biden and Donald Trump in late June.
But, beyond the debate, it would be Donald Trump who would have gained a point in voting intentions, going from 46 to 47%, while Kamala Harris stagnates at 50%.
The poll was conducted on September 10 and 11 among 1,174 Americans who “will vote or are likely to vote” in the November 5 presidential election, according to the New York newspaper.
It should be noted that the margin of error for this poll was determined to be plus or minus 2.7%.
