In a post-debate survey conducted by SSRS for CNN, viewers indicated that Vice President Kamala Harris outshone former President Donald Trump by a margin of 63% to 37%.
This is a significant shift from earlier polls, such as one by The New York Times and Siena College, which had the candidates nearly tied before the debate.

The debate held in Washington D.C. also resulted in Harris earning an endorsement from pop star Taylor Swift.

These results reflect the views of debate watchers and not the general voting public.
