According to domestic Political polling, Biden’s performance in the debate has had an immediate, devastating impact on his campaign.
According to Peter Hamby of Puck News, a private polling memo that is circulating among troubled Democrats confirms some of their worst fears:” President Joe Biden’s support has started to wane in crucial electoral battlegrounds in the wake of his fatal debate performance in Atlanta, and Biden’s standing is then putting recently noncompetitive states like New Hampshire, Virginia, and New Mexico in play for Donald Trump,” according to Peter Hamby of Puck News. The memo was created following the discussion by OpenLabs, a progressive nonprofit that polls and tests messages for a number of Democratic organizations, including the 501 ( c ) 4 nonprofit affiliated with Future Forward, the preferred Super PAC for Biden’s reelection campaign.

The ballot, which was conducted within 72 hours after the conversation, reveals that 40 % of 2020 Trump voters now believe he should close his plan, a significant increase from only 25 % in May. Additionally, Biden is losing support among swing voters, with a 2- to- 1 majority saying he should exit the race.
” This is, of course, only a single poll, conducted during the initial aftershocks of the debate”, Hamby cautions,” It will take a few weeks to determine if Biden’s slippage in the polls is a trend and not a blip. However, Democratic campaigns take their work seriously given their standing within the party and connections to Future Forward.

More states were in play than initially thought before the debate, according to the poll, and they are now even closer. For example, Colorado, which last voted Republican in 2004, had Biden up only 3.7 points before the debate. Post- debate, Biden’s lead is just 1.9 points. Biden’s margin in Minnesota went from 2.4 points to just 0.4 points, and in Maine, it went from 2.2 points to just 0.2 points.
According to the poll, Biden dropped from a modest lead in Virginia and New Mexico before the debate to a modest deficit in both states later. Trump currently holds New Hampshire by almost three points.
When you combine all the state polls and create an electoral map, Trump emerges victorious in the end.

A crucial talking point they were using after the debate is now gone, which is even worse for Biden, according to a poll conducted by OpenLabs that showed that several potential alternatives in battleground states poll better than Biden.  ,
The White House, the Biden campaign, and Biden himself are engaged in extensive gaslighting, struggling to control the narrative amid growing calls for him to drop out. At least 25 House Democrats are reportedly planning to publicly request Joe Biden’s resignation from the race.
The Democratic Party is asking the New York Times to hand Kamala Harris the job of Joe Biden in the belief that she can win the election.
Her favors are as bad as Biden’s, but recent polls in swing states suggest columnist Lydia Polgreen that her polling before this debate was not good.” She could gain trust from voters if she steps in as president,” writes Lydia Polgreen. She would start with low expectations, which she could quite easily surpass, compared to a drafted candidate. She has been involved in significant national security issues, not just ribbon cuttings, in a world filled with danger. Paired with, say, a strong, centrist governor like Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania or Andy Beshear of Kentucky as her running mate, she could win this”.

Prior to the debate, Harris polled even worse against Trump than Biden, making her the most unpopular vice president ever. She only has the ability to bring in Biden’s campaign war chest, which is very little evidence to support her victory.
Regardless, the possibility of changing candidates at this point in the election is politically unfavorable and would be a legal nightmare for the Democratic Party.
