Trump and Harris trade jabs in pivotal debate that will shape 2024 election

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

42% : Trump, the first criminally convicted former president, is running for office a third time on his "Make America Great Again" agenda, with a retribution-fueled campaign painting an apocalyptic vision of the nation overrun by illegal immigration and violent crime and dogged by a flailing economy under Biden's administration.
28% : ABC News moderators Linsey Davis and David Muir have been tasked with directing what could be a chaotic 90-minute matchup between the two candidates, both of whom have agreed to the same guidelines from June's debate between Trump and Biden.
26% : The candidates entered Philadelphia's National Constitution Center neck and neck in the polls, with the most recent New York Times/Siena College survey putting Trump one percentage point ahead of his Democratic rival, within the poll's three-point margin of error.
14% : Trump has now pinned the blame for all of the above on the vice president.
