Analysis: Tuesday's debate should show whether Trump has learned how to campaign against Harris

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

69% : But with the race as close as it is, Trump could feel the heat just as much.
52% : Abortion is the best example, where he's taken credit for ending the constitutional right to abortion with his Supreme Court appointments and taken a series of positions on what kind of state-based policies he supports.
43% : Trump is often graded on the curve in debates.
41% : Last for Trump is how the absence of Biden changes both the campaign and how viewers might assess the candidates on Tuesday night.
36% : She also wants to hold Trump to account on his answers, though she cannot afford to be a full-time fact-checker onstage.
35% : He said Trump should write on a pad the words "weak," "failed" and "dangerously liberal" and incorporate them into his answers.
33% : "Some strategists believe Harris will be under more pressure than Trump, simply because she is newer, less tested, and seeking to define herself as both part of the Biden legacy of the past four years and a candidate ready to stake out her own identity.
31% : Beyond being uninformed, Trump has tried his best to muddy his positions on controversial topics.
29% : During the 2016 debates with Hillary Clinton, Trump hectored her both verbally and physically, at times even lurking close to her in ways designed to intimidate her.
26% : To some strategists, Trump seems not up to the levels of 2016 or for that matter 2020.
26% : Her favorability numbers have risen, but she remains vulnerable to being defined negatively by Trump before she fills out her profile.
25% : Then there is the question of what Trump really knows about the issues.
22% : Trump is now the old, Harris the new.
21% : Biden is now gone, and the spotlight will be on Trump in ways it wasn't before, with more attention paid to his coherence or lack thereof as a candidate.
17% : Is it because he cannot move on past the 2020 election, an election fairly won by Biden but about which Trump continues to claim otherwise, falsely so?
