In the two-day survey, Harris's lead among registered voters was five percentage points, which was marginally higher than the four points she had over Trump in a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted from August 21–28. 53% of voters who said they had heard at least something about Tuesday's debate claimed Harris had won, 24% claimed Trump had, and the remaining voters either had not heard anything at all or had not responded. About 52% of those who watched the debate said that Trump faltered and didn't look intelligent, whereas 21% said the same about Harris. Five percent of Republican voters thought Trump lacked intelligence. In a fierce presidential debate, Harris repeatedly attacked Trump's suitability for office and his numerous legal issues, bringing up his felony conviction for allegedly falsifying business records. This put Trump on the defensive. Harris gave the impression of having higher moral integrity, according to 52% of voters who were familiar with the debate, compared to 29% who said the same of Trump.
