TFP poll in seven battleground states prior to debate had Trump and Harris even and post debate had Trump up 48-46 (50/47 in head to head matchup with 3% undecided).  Similar sample size, similar methodology.  Something tells me that if this holds up to other polling that two things resulted from the debate.  One, that Americans saw the overt bias of the aBS moderators and didn't like it.  Two, that Harris'r refusal to answer questions and her unlikable demeanor did not help her case much as it didn't with the undecided Reuters focus group moving 2 to 1 to Trump.

And in breaking potentially fake news, apparently some aBS whistleblower is going to sign an affadavit that they gave the Harris campaign "sample" questions that were the same as the actual questions and that they assured her campaign they would not live fact check her.  One wonders if the fact that the female moderator was a sorority sister of Harris and that Harris' BFF runs aBS News might be integral to all this.....  As I said, this alleged whistleblower may turn out to be fake news but if it does happen this would explain how Harris was so nervous at the start but once she realized she really had been given the questions in advance she became more comfortable.

And now, Dem pollster Mark Penn has called for aBS to hire an outside law firm to investigate the rigged debate.  “I actually think they should do a full internal investigation, hire an outside law firm. I don’t know how much of this was planned in advance,”   “I don’t know what they told the Harris campaign. I think the day after, suspicion here is really quite high, and I think a review of all their internal texts and emails really should be done by an independent party to find out to what extent they were planning on, in effect, you know, fact-checking just one candidate and in effect, rigging the outcome of this debate. I think the situation demands nothing less than that,”
