Fox 8 poll results: Who won the Harris-Trump presidential debate?

PHILADELPHIA (WJW) — Kamala Harris and Donald Trump faced off in their first – and possibly only – debate Tuesday night in Philadelphia.

The debate gave voters one of the closest looks at the campaigns of both presidential candidates after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race back in July.

The race remains tight with just two months until the Nov. 5 election.

Following Tuesday’s debate, Fox 8 asked viewers in a poll: If you watched, tell us: Who do you think won the Sept. 10 presidential debate?

We had a total of 21,102 votes. Of those, 49.4% went to Harris and 50.6% to Trump. NOTE: This poll was not scientific or official.

A recent survey from Emerson College Polling and The Hill asked 945 potential Ohio voters about their preferences between Trump and Harris. Trump held 53% of the respondents’ voting choices, while Harris trailed at 43%.

The 10-point lead falls outside the poll’s +/- 3.1% margin of error, and another 4% of voters polled were undecided.

Nationally, Harris led Trump by 4.1% as of Friday, Sept. 6, according to 159 polls aggregated by Decision Desk HQ.
