Undecided Americans impressed by Harris

BBC Voter panel promoThe BBC

With only weeks left until the US presidential election, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are in a battle to win the support of those who are yet to commit to either candidate.

The BBC has spoken to six undecided voters who saw Tuesday night’s 90-minute debate as being crucial in working out who to pick in November’s ballot.

Vanessa was leaning towards Trump before the debate started and is still leaning that way, but was impressed with Harris’s performance.

I don’t think the debate changed my opinion on voting for Trump, but I definitely am less fearful if [Harris] wins because I think she can handle herself and debate well.

I’m overall unchanged, but I like her better now.

I lost a lot of faith in the Democratic Party when they told us Joe Biden was fine, and then it turns out he’s not, and so it’s hard to trust that the same administration is going forward.

I do not want to vote for Trump, but I do not like this current administration. I won’t change my mind before November, I’d just be less worried if she were to win.

Jeremy Petersen graphic

Jeremy doesn’t like Trump and didn’t vote Democrat in 2016 or 2020, but after tonight’s debate says he will be voting for Harris.

Tonight was the first night where genuinely, I would say I felt, like, scared at the prospect of a second Trump presidency.

His answers where he would fear monger about immigrants killing dogs, fear monger about World War III multiple times. Every time he spoke, it was frightening to a level that I have not felt from him before.

And while I don’t love Harris, and I think she’s very wishy-washy, she doesn’t pose an existential threat to America like he does.

Tracy watched the debate but remains undecided about who she will vote for.

I thought both candidates spoke fairly well, but I thought Kamala answered more of the questions than Trump did.

I had never really seen anything about [Harris] so I was looking for basically an opinion on her. So I was rather pleased with some of what she had to say and actually what ex-President Trump had to say, but I get a very shifty vibe from him.

I don’t trust [Trump]. I don’t think he wants to run the country, I think he wants to own the country.

William thought the debate conveyed a clear picture of both candidates, but says he is leaning towards Harris after watching.

Trump was all over the place. He was lured into a lot of questions that he should have answered perfectly like immigration and abortion, but he was caught off guard with statements about crowd size, which was really revealing.

I felt like Kamala was far more prepared for this than Donald Trump.

I personally want to see her in more one-on-one interviews after this, this is the first time I’m seeing her without Tim Walz and she did fine, in my opinion.

If she went out there more, spoke to the nation one-on-one more, she’d receive my vote at that point.

Rohan Vijayan graphic

Rohan remains undecided, but says after the debate he’s 51% for Harris and 49% for Trump. Still, he says, there’s still time for that to change.

The debate did very little to change my perspective of Trump. This was more of an audition for Kamala Harris to just kind of see who she is, where she stands on policies and her command of the stage.

She came across pretty rehearsed to me, but she dropped a lot of, sort of, baited statements that I think Trump bit on really hard – rattled him a bit, made him pretty angry.

All of this seemed pretty calculated to me, and that’s not exactly what I was looking for out of her. I was looking for her to be a little more personable, a little more natural.

Chance Phillips graphic

Chance was not very impressed with the debate performances and still remains undecided.

I didn’t feel like the topics were discussed in depth, it was mostly the candidates talking at each other.

I was disappointed, really.

I personally wished they would go in depth about their policy, instead of attacking the other person for something about their policy.

I’m personally not a fan of either of them, but if I was going to choose one or the other, I would probably choose Harris.
