Vice President Kamala Harris has taken a five-point lead over Donald Trump among registered voters following the presidential debate, recent polling shows.
The two candidates met for the first time on Tuesday in the ABC News debate in Philadelphia and spent more than an hour and a half tussling over abortion, the economy and foreign policy.
A DailyMail.com snap poll determined Harris was the winner of the debate and seemed most presidential, while Trump was deemed the most aggressive.
Now, new polling from Yahoo News/YouGov shows the vice president gaining a five-point lead over Trump among registered voters in a head-to-head match-up.
The poll of 1,755 U.S. adults conducted from September 11-13 found 50 percent of people said they would vote for Harris, while 45 percent said they would vote for Trump.

Harris trailed Trump by 9 points among independent voters – 35 percent to 44 percent – prior to the debate. The new poll now has her leading with that bloc by 10 points, 47 percent to 37 percent.
While national polling has Harris taking the lead, a new poll of the crucial swing state of Michigan shows warning signs for the vice president as she looks to secure the so-called Democratic ‘blue wall.’
The InsiderAdvantage poll shows Donald Trump leading by one point in the state.
It has the GOP nominee at 49 percent and Harris at 48 percent signaling it’s going to be an extremely close race in the must-win state for Democrats on their path to the White House.
The InsiderAdvantage poll was conducted of 800 likely voters September 11 and 12, after the presidential debate.
Trump confirmed there will not be a debate rematch with the vice president in a lengthy Truth Social post.

After publicly tamping down calls for another debate with the vice president, Trump delivered an unambiguous rejection of the idea on Thursday.
‘When a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are, “I WANT A REMATCH.” Polls clearly show that I won the Debate against Comrade Kamala Harris, the Democrats’ Radical Left Candidate, on Tuesday night, and she immediately called for a Second Debate,’ Trump wrote.
‘She and Crooked Joe have destroyed our Country, with millions of criminals and mentally deranged people pouring into the USA, totally unchecked and unvetted, and with Inflation bankrupting our Middle Class,’ he added.
The former president continued, ‘Everyone knows this, and all of the other problems caused by Kamala and Joe – It was discussed in great detail during the First Debate with Joe, and the Second Debate with Comrade Harris.’
‘KAMALA SHOULD FOCUS ON WHAT SHE SHOULD HAVE DONE DURING THE LAST ALMOST FOUR YEAR PERIOD. THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!’ Trump concluded.
