Trump's post-debate claims of winning were met with overwhelming viewer support for Kamala Harris, as polls showed her clearly coming out on top in the debate.
Despite Trump's assertions, a CNN flash poll indicated that 63% believed Harris had won, sharply contrasting Trump's narrative of a strong performance against multiple opponents.
Voter perception was crucial, with Republican pollster Frank Luntz stating Trump's debate outcome was damaging to his campaign, suggesting it may be 'dead' going forward.
Criticism from within Fox News came as well, with Brit Hume noting it was a disappointing night for Trump, reflecting across the Republican commentary landscape.
