Dear Palmer Report readers,
we all understand what a dark era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. Advertising networks can't be counted on. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight, because someone has to.
In that regard we're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. We've launched a reader supported fund, and we've already raised $3760 and counting. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can contribute here. Thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
Bill Palmer

By any objective measure, Joe Biden won the final presidential debate handily, and Donald Trump blew it royally. But in the end it matters less who objectively won, and more about who is perceived to have won. To that end, one snap survey suggests that Biden cleaned up with undecided voters, and Trump got crushed.
CNN always brings together a panel of undecided voters to watch the debate. Last night CNN’s panel consisted of eleven voters. Afterward, nine of them said they thought Joe Biden won the debate. Two of them said it was a tie. And zero of them say they thought Donald Trump won. That’s right, zero.
Granted, this is a small anecdotal sample size. But it’s also an overwhelmingly one sided result. And while anyone who’s still “undecided” at this point may not end up voting anyway, this is a good measuring stick for how the debate was perceived overall. Trump needed to win over voters with the debate, and it looks like he may have instead lost some voters.
