Donald Trump Stung by Three Polls Released After Debate
Sting Me 3 Times Baby
In the debate's aftermath the odds of Biden being the Democrats' 2024 presidential candidate rose by nearly 30 percent with one betting website, whilst the odds of Vice-President Kamala Harris winning the 2024 presidential election have fallen sharply with a number of bookies.
Ipsos surveyed 1,070 registered voters across the U.S. for Reuters on July 1 and 2, and found Biden and Trump were tied with 40 percent of the vote each. This is an improvement in Biden's performance over the last Ipsos/Reuters poll, which put Trump ahead on 41 percent against 39 percent for the incumbent. This survey of 930 registered voters was conducted on June 12.
Notably this survey also found former first lady Michelle Obama would decisively defeat Trump with 50 percent of the vote against 39 percent for the former president, though she has already ruled out running and endorsed Biden.

More of the Horse Race beginning of summer 2024:
The New York Times and Siena College poll showed Trump, a Republican, building a 6 percentage point lead - 49% to 43% - over Biden, a Democrat, among registered voters that the Times considered likely to cast ballots in the Nov. 5 election.
The Wall Street Journal poll showed Trump with a 6 point lead over Biden, compared to a 2 point lead in a survey that the Journal carried out in February.
In both polls, which were conducted nationwide, respondents noted that Biden's age, 81, was weighing on his appeal. Some 80% of respondents in the Journal poll, which surveyed 1,500 registered voters from June 29 through July 2, said Biden was too old to seek a second term. That poll had a margin of error of 2.5 percentage points.

4 reasons to beware of post-debate polling takes
This soon after the debate, with relatively little robust polling, there are early indications that President Joe Biden has lost ground, but it's hard to say much more.

Polls are like video games for addicted adults. They seem to have grown much less reliable in the last 10 years. Maybe the sampling techniques need to be changed? I don't see any major shift in the national mood compared to the last election.
All of the distractions like the debate or the assassination attempt take up our attention for the moment.... But honestly those aren't the kinds of things that actually change a vote.

Unlike some people, I don't see polls as being less reliable. I go with the analysis of polls. I like seeing the methodology of polling firms. Then there are polls conducted by campaigns and others.
If polls are so unreliable? Smart money wouldn't be there.

"To be clear, this doesn't mean that Harris will run notably stronger than Biden, only that she could. Her post-debate polls against Trump relative to Biden have a great deal of variance, ranging from around 8 points worse to 4 points better than how Biden performed. Based on an average of 26 national polls conducted over the past month, Harris trailed Trump by 4.5 points nationally compared with a smaller 3-point deficit for Biden." - July 22, 2024,

What do the polls say about a Harris vs. Trump matchup?
While Harris consistently polled worse than Biden did against Trump before the debate, she’s since fared the same or better in close to half of the post-debate polls.

Just a few days after becoming the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris is virtually tied with her Republican rival, Donald Trump, according to a new New York Times/Siena College poll.
The survey, which was conducted after President Biden announced that he was stepping aside, also showed that 70 percent of Democratic voters said they wanted the party to speedily consolidate behind her rather than engage in a more competitive and drawn-out process. Just 14 percent said they would prefer another candidate.
Overall, Trump leads Harris 48 percent to 47 percent among likely voters nationwide. That’s roughly the same position Biden was in before his disastrous debate performance in June, but it’s a major improvement for Democrats from the past month. Biden trailed Trump by six percentage points in our last poll.
To be clear, the survey is simply a snapshot of the race at this tumultuous moment: Trump’s favorable ratings surged to the highest point in a Times poll after a man tried to assassinate him, and Harris is riding the momentum of a newly energized base. That all could change before November.
