Undecided voters support Trump after debate, say Harris was vague on policy plans: Reuters survey

In the aftermath of Tuesday night’s primetime debate between presidential candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, the majority of undecided voters who spoke with Reuters are leaning towards voting for Trump come November.

Reuters spoke with ten undecided voters, with six saying after the debate that they would vote for Trump or were leaning towards supporting him. Three said the same for Harris, and one remained unsure. 

"Reuters interviewed 10 undecided voters after the debate. Six said they are now voting for Trump or leaning that way. Three said Harris. One remains unsure," Charlie Kirk said. "This wasn’t a debate about who delivered the zingers or one-liners. It was about who could move the middle. Trump won."

Noting the small sample size, Reuters reported that "the responses suggested Harris might need to provide more detailed policy proposals to win over voters who have yet to make up their minds." Over a month and a half after entering the race, Harris’ campaign website finally displayed a policy page Sunday.

Five of the voters told Reuters that they found Harris vague during the debate on how she would improve the economy and deal with cost of living increases that have been seen under the Biden-Harris administration.

Those who said they would support Trump said that they trusted him more than Harris on the economy, though all said they did not like him as a person. They said they felt their personal financial situations were better when he was president, and some supported his proposal to tax foreign imports. Four of the six Trump converts said that Harris was not convincing that she would pursue different economic policies from Joe Biden.

"I still don't know what she is for," said 61-year-old Mark Kadish, an entrepreneur in Florida. "There was no real meat and bones for her plans."

Robert Wheeler, 48, said that he had been leaning toward Harris prior to the debate, but would not vote for Trump if the election were to be held the next day. "I felt like the whole debate was Kamala Harris telling me why not to vote for Donald Trump instead of why she's the right candidate," Wheeler said.
