Chronicle poll results: Harris/Trump debate
We asked our readers who won the Harris/Trump debate. Here's what they said.
Last week, the Chronicle asked its readers in an electronic poll the following question: “Who won the Harris/Trump debate?” Of the 480 people who responded, 77% said Harris, 17% said Trump and 6% said they had no opinion. Comments were submitted by 134 people. A few follow.
Kamala Harris presented herself as a calm, collected, and even-tempered leader while Donald Trump was becoming more unhinged as the debate went on.
Harris won but was unjustly supported by the anti-Trump ABC moderators. Harris and Trump both repeated things that were untrue and both spoke when their microphones were turned off. Harris had easier questions and wasn’t challenged like the moderators did with Trump.
After watching the debate, I wonder how anyone could want to trust the nation’s security in Trump.
I believe it was a tie. I wish they would have addressed the issues and stated their position instead of degrading each other. I wish they would have been more specific as to Israel’s security.
When we have a woman that speaks on actual facts and a man talking about eating dogs and cats, there are no comparisons! Trump again proved himself to be a total narcissist. If you can’t get Taylor Swift’s endorsement go for Viktor Orbán.
It was no contest. In a battle of wits, Donald Trump is unarmed.
Though far from perfect or complete in her responses, Harris was more cogent, more forceful and more honest, and offered what amounted to stronger support for Israel.
For sure, Harris. Although, sadly, I think Trump would be better for Israel and Harris for the U.S. I’m very torn about whom I will vote for.
Although Kamala Harris certainly was the clear winner of this debate, I still have no trust in either candidate, especially Ms. Harris. Her lack of support for Israel is offensive to me as a Jew.
Even though Harris memorized her lines well, Trump was more honest. Harris avoided answering important questions right from the beginning while pivoting to her unrelated memorized talking points. Moderators were clearly biased against Trump
Trump’s election denial, that is still continuing to this day, has caused more division in this country than anything I have seen in my lifetime since the Vietnam War. His disregard for the Constitution and his actions on Jan. 6 should disqualify him from ever getting near the Oval Office. Please listen to the National Security advisors that worked for him and have said they will not support him. Most of them are voting for Harris. This should tell you everything you want to know.
No one won. They were both deeply troubling. There was no winner but the American people are the losers. Is this really the best our country can do!? PJC
