Trump up in first post-debate poll, ‘on the rise again
The media panned President Trump’s rowdy debate performance, but it appears that it helped him and he is “on the rise again,” according to the first post-debate approval survey.Sliding from 52% approval over the weekend to 46% yesterday, Trump is back up to 49% today in the daily Trump tracking poll of likely voters from Rasmussen Reports.
According to the poll analysis, “This survey is the first to include a night of polling following the first presidential debate between Trump and Democrat nominee Joe Biden. The president's approval ran in the low 50s for 10 days through the end of last week but dropped as low as 46% in the first three days of this week following his nomination Saturday of federal Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court. Now his approval appears to be on the rise again. By next Monday morning, all 1,500 voters in the daily tracking survey will have been polled following Tuesday night's contentious debate.”
Meanwhile, Gallup today pushed Trump's approval rating up to 46% from 42%. And, it said, "56% expect Trump will win the election; 40% think Biden will."

Yes, VOTE TRUMP!
My reaction watching the first 15 minutes or so on Tuesday was to gag a wee bit and turn it off.
After hearing the wailing and gnashing of teeth in subsequent days, I decided this morning to turn it on while going about my morning routine.
While I was not impressed with either of them, Trump did not come off as bad as people are stating, IMO. I would have liked him to have been better prepared with more concise actions his administration has done and with a more defined path forward, but we know the man is intellectually lazy, and his style is to not get bogged down in the details. Not a horrible trait for a manager, but lacking preparation was an (albeit expected) unforced error.
Biden, on the other hand, disgusts me on any number of levels, and I probably am not in a position to make a rational or reasoned comment on his performance. It appears he stayed awake throughout the whole thing, however, so in one way it was a big win for him.

Of course being a DEMOCRAT he was never called out for his antics and allowed to speak much more than his opponents,
Trump just did what Obama recommended.
