President Donald Trump has surged past Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris following their controversial debate earlier this week, a new internal poll has revealed.
The Trump campaign poll was conducted after this week’s presidential debate.
It shows that Trump received a bump in his numbers following the debate.
Vice President Harris, however, remained flat.
The poll was conducted by one of the top pollsters in the country, Tony Fabrizio.
The survey focused on voters in the seven swing states where the election will be decided.
“Last night, we conducted a survey of 1,893 likely voters across our seven key target states,” a memo from the campaign said.
“We found that despite the best efforts of Kamala Harris and the media to portray the debate as some kind of overwhelming win for her, voters did not see it this way as support for her remained flat.
“The only change we saw was a 2-point bump for President Trump in both ballot configurations.”
“In last week’s data (pre-debate) from our surveys (N=5,600) across our seven target states, both the full and head-to-head ballots were split dead even,” the memo continued.
“In our post-debate data, President Trump leads Vice President Harris by 2 points, 48% – 46%, and in the head-to-head ballot, he is up 3 points, 50% – 47%.”
A Poll has just been released by Highly Respected Pollster, Tony Fabrizio, showing that I am up THREE POINTS after the Debate. These are largely Independent Voters, who are tired of watching our Country go down, and want to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

The ballot configuration included all of the other candidates, including Green Party candidate Jill Stein, Independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Libertarian Chase Oliver, and Independent Cornel West.
It saw Trump gain two points after the debate to take a 48-46 lead over Harris, who saw no movement.
In the head-to-head ballot configuration, which only featured Trump and Harris, Trump gained three points after the debate.
Harris, however, dropped one point.
The results move the race from 48-48 before the debate to 50-47 after the debate.
The memo added:
“Clearly, target state voters were not impressed by Kamala Harris’ empty platitudes and while the media would have people believe she is cruising to victory, this couldn’t be farther from the truth.”
