(ANSA) – ROME, SEPTEMBER 11 – After the televised clash between the two contenders for the US presidency, the analyses and polls on who won the debate have begun. Statistician Nate Silver wrote on his blog FiveThirtyEight that there is “a strong consensus that Harris won the night”. Silver, considered very authoritative in his calculations and quoted this morning by the Guardian, also points out that Bitcoin prices are falling, “which also implies a loss for Trump”. “Even the Fox News panel I followed – Silver writes – seemed to concede towards the end of the night that Harris had won. Harris won CNN’s snap poll of debate watchers by a score of 63-37. On average, the winner of the debate has had an 18-point lead in this poll, so Harris’s 26-point win is on the high end”. Most voters who participated in a CNN focus group at Mercyhurst University in Erie, Pennsylvania, also said they believed Harris had won. The group consisted of 13 voters who had not yet decided who to vote for before the debate. When CNN’s Phil Mattingly asked the group who had won the debate, eight of the voters said Harris had won. The reporter noted that Erie is “the most volatile county in the swing state” of Pennsylvania, CNN reports. (ANSA).
