Galen Druk:本周四将举行2024年美国总统大选首场辩论,这是百年来首次总统与前任总统之间的辩论,也是自1988年以来首次没有由总统辩论委员会举办的辩论。辩论的特殊性(提前举行、总统辩论委员会未参与、无观众、麦克风静音等)可能使其影响与以往不同。 Mary Radcliffe:根据以往研究,总统大选辩论通常不会改变很多人的想法,其影响有限。通常情况下,辩论带来的支持率变化不足以改变选举结果,但本次选举形势紧密,微小的变化也可能产生影响。由于当前政治环境高度两极分化,即使辩论中出现一方明显失利的情况,其对民调的影响也可能有限。本次辩论可能影响那些尚未关注选举或尚未决定投票给谁的选民。大多数美国人不会观看辩论,而观看辩论的大多数人已经支持某一方,因此辩论对选举结果的影响可能有限。 Jeffrey Skelly:总统大选辩论的影响有限,但本次辩论由于时机、参与者和选民参与度等因素,可能有所不同。历史上,现任总统在首次总统辩论中的表现往往不佳,这可能会影响选民的看法。由于辩论举行时间提前,以往的分析方法可能不适用于本次辩论。对大量选民认为存在大量摇摆选民的说法持怀疑态度,关键在于投票率。安·塞尔特擅长捕捉选举后期民意变化,但目前距离选举还有很长时间,因此其民调结果不能作为可靠的预测依据。历史上,民调在预测白人选民投票行为方面存在偏差,但这并不意味着未来也会如此。纽约和科罗拉多州即将举行重要初选,其中包括纽约州众议员贾马尔·鲍曼的连任竞选和科罗拉多州众议员劳伦·博伯特的换区竞选。

This Thursday, President Biden and former President Donald Trump will go head-to-head in the earliest presidential debate ever. It is also the first contest between a president and former president in over a century and the first debate not run by the Commission on Presidential Debates since 1988.

In this installment of the 538 Politics podcast, the crew discusses whether historical expectations for presidential debates will apply in this unique situation. They also dissect some questionable uses of polling and preview a couple of high-profile primary races in New York and Colorado.
