The percentage of voters who trust Trump more on the economy reportedly increased from +16% to +20%, according to a CNN poll conducted following the presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.
CNN’s Jake Tapper introduced the audience to the poll by stating to CNN political director David Chalian:
“The first results of our instant poll of debate-watchers have just come in and David Chalian is going to join us now to break it all down. David, tell us more.”
“Yeah, Jake, and as you noted, this is a poll of debate watchers. This is not a poll that represents the overall population, although in partisan breakdown it is pretty close to what the overall registered population looks like in the country.” he continued.
Chalian later demonstrated the outcome of the debate when viewers were asked to determine which candidate they trusted more regarding the economy: Trump or Harris.
The results indicated that, despite Trump’s 16-point lead over Harris (53%-37% before the debate), Trump’s lead increased to 20% (55%-35% after the debate).
