Following the recent presidential debate, concerns have been raised about President Joe Biden's performance, with many observers noting a decline in his capacity. A post-debate poll by DataProgress shows former President Donald Trump leading Biden by 3 points, 48% to 45%. Trump also leads other potential Democratic candidates, including Kamala Harris, Gretchen Whitmer, Gavin Newsom, and Josh Shapiro. Biden's campaign manager, Jen O'Malley Dillon, countered the negative perception by highlighting positive data from battleground states. Vice President Kamala Harris acknowledged that Biden's performance was not his 'finest hour' but expressed confidence in the Democrats' chances in the upcoming elections. Despite the debate performance, Biden's supporters are working to reassure backers and maintain campaign momentum. Biden lost six points to Trump among voters surveyed after the debate, which has been described as a debate debacle.
