Debate Reactions and Key Voter Dynamics
The recent presidential debate highlighted the critical influence of undecided voters, who comprise about 6% to 8% of the electorate. Kamala Harris was perceived as having a stronger performance, effectively targeting these pivotal independent voters by presenting herself as composed and knowledgeable while putting Donald Trump on the defensive regarding pressing issues.
