Post-Debate Data Insights
Recent polling data indicates that Vice President Kamala Harris holds a narrow two to three point lead nationally following a strong debate performance against Donald Trump.

Coupled with a significant advantage in financial resources, volunteer support, and grassroots enthusiasm, these factors seem to favor Harris and her campaign's overall strength. Observers note that Harris's debate performance highlighted Trump's vulnerabilities, reinforcing her campaign's momentum and voter support.
