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,”

Saw similar reporting - if accurate they should have their FCC license pulled and should be required to pay a massive fine as an illegal/unreported contribution via FEC.

Trump is playing the "another debate" issue perfectly.  She knows she can't, or would have a really hard time, winning the election with just that one debate.  Trump says "no more debates", but since she wants another, I believe his strategy is to say "well, maybe I will do another, but here are the conditions".  Then he will insist if there is another debate it be presented and moderated by a less biased organization, to include the moderators insisting that the answers are to the questions posed, and he will have learned from the first and absolutely pick her apart in the second.  I expect he would wipe that pre-staged smirk off her face with facts and insist the moderators demand she answer questions instead of bloviating with pie in the sky nonsense.

I suspect you didn't even read beyond the fake news headline did you?  She got 400K people to register to vote....allegedly.  That's probably around 0.25% of the total votes and most are probably in states that Harris will win easily.  So they haven't voted yet and this particular demographic is prone to not doing so, especially given how vapid they are to be swayed to register by a woman who has become rich and famous for songs that talk about her bad choices in life (hat tip to Babylon Bee).  And it sure hasn't shown up in the polling...but otherwise your point is completely nonsensical.
