81% : Despite a nervous start, he writes, "Harris was calm, in command and in control and looked to the future, distinguishing herself from both Biden and Trump.
74% : On the overturning of Roe, a ruling that Americans remain broadly opposed to, Trump said, "I did a great service in doing it.
41% : Polls - including the NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll out yesterday - have shown voters trust Trump to handle the economy, immigration and the war in the Middle East more than they trust Harris.
38% : Questions swirled about whether she would be able to parry attacks from Trump, respond to criticism that she's light on policy and, perhaps most importantly, whether she could appear "presidential."According to NPR's senior political editor Domenico Montanaro, the answer to all those questions was yes.
