Interest data in this poll, including Walz's favorability more underwater than Vance, and Trump having perception advantages in healthcare, education, combating corruption, economic inequality, safeguarding democracy, and is only 2pts back on reproductive rights.

Junk poll times. It's what they are using to flood the narrative for rebellion once they lose
 
More on Yahoo/YouGov poll:

“…
In previous Yahoo News/YouGov polls — one following last month’s Democratic National Convention and one released immediately after the vice president entered the race on July 21 — Harris and Trump were effectively tied. Harris’s best showing was a narrow 47% to 46% edge in August.

But the new poll of 1,755 U.S. adults — one of the first conducted after the Sept. 10 debate — shows Harris (50%) surging to a five-point lead over Trump (45%) among registered voters in a head-to-head matchup. She leads by a similar margin when third-party candidates are included (48% to 44%) and when only likely voters are surveyed (49% to 45%). …”

“… Among Americans who either watched the debate or followed the subsequent coverage of it, a full 56% say that Harris won. Just 26% say the same about Trump.

In a break with longstanding partisan patterns, the number of Democrats who say Harris won (94%) is nearly 40 points higher than the number of Republicans who say Trump did (57%).

Just 21% of independents think the former president came out on top. …”

So that is interesting— Trump’s debate performance was bad enough that it actually broke through typical party loyalty my guy won hegemony among GOP voters.

In addition, Harris was good enough to sway others to support her:

——

“…
Nearly half of those familiar with the debate, in fact, say Trump delivered a poor performance (48%), while a clear majority (58%) say Harris’s performance was either excellent or good.

That same group sees Harris as the candidate who came across as more “presidential” (51% to 35%), “coherent” (50% to 29%), “competent” (50% to 36%), “focused on policy” (48% to 34%) and “strong” (47% to 39%). Trump was seen as more “insulting” (53% to 28%) and “untruthful” (49% to 35%) — as well as more responsible than Harris for making the debate “embarrassing” (50% to 29%), “painful” (46% to 30%) and “infuriating” (44% to 33%) to watch.

But Harris didn’t just win the personality contest Tuesday night; she won the policy war too. Respondents who followed the debate say the vice president gave better answers than Trump on every issue except immigration. That includes abortion (53% to 30%), the Jan. 6 attacks on the U.S. Capitol (49% to 28%), her own record (45% to 31%), the cost of living (45% to 39%) and even Trump’s record (44% to 36%).

As a result, 46% of them now say the debate made them think better of Harris. Just 20% say the same about Trump — including a mere 15% of independents. …”

Continually unsurprised but shocked at the margins ttump continues to hold with veterans. The sniveling scumbag has shit on vets over and over and over. I suppose it’s hard to break free from the hypermasculinity brainwashing and rural town milieu.

You have to come to some negative conclusions about the majority (over 50%) of Veterans . And yes like most of us I respect veterans and know lots of them that are swell folks . The lousy poilitical culture they exist in is weird
 
One of the great dichotomies of our society is that our military is trained to defend our democracies while being basically indoctrinated in using antidemocratic methods to do so. Even the ones with college educations get a dose of that by the type of education they pursue if not family tradition. Since you actually can't debate orders, question higher authority, etc. in most circumstances, it can't be much other way. It does cause an adjustment when they become or resume the function of citizens when voting. They are going to tend toward authoritarian figures, be less inclined to ask questions and more likely to rationalize more active interference, privately, nationally and internationally. With their background, it's not surprising to me that they have a strong Republican lean.

My father served twice-Regular Navy in post war occupation duty in Japan and then in Korea in the Guard . He grew up in a pretty conservative family in the South-GI Bill made it possible for him to go to College and have a" good life " . He told me he seriously considered a career in the Armed services . But he could not shake instances -in field exercises training- where the Order was to do X -and he knew Y should have been the answer . He said he would not have lasted in such an organization
