Republican lawmakers, right-wing media outlets and influencers, and Trump himself are pushing conspiracies about Biden’s health and the debate in general.
Was that 12 points swinging towards Trump as the debate winner or was that people changing their vote? Because those are very different things. I would be surprised if it were the latter.
I really don't think that it's telling at all. I have a very difficult time believing someone would suddenly consider a dictator over the possibility of Kamala Harris stepping in like they hadn't already.
That is also true. Another breakpoint coming up is Trump's sentencing. Apparently focus groups report they're less likely to vote for him if he gets a sentence including a jail or prison term.
