October 2024 Presidential Election Post-Debate Poll

by Sincluda



State of the Race










  • Like the US election, really ought not be as close as it appears to be.
  • I just got back from inactivity so I don't feel super confident on making comments on specific policies, but it does feel very passionate from all sides.
  • Impressive debate by upc and good closing statement. All sides had some stumbling points but upc sold it best
  • upc has lost some of his steam from his very first Presidential run.
  • No shade to either UPC or Ellenburg but I feel like Vor has the experience and Andy has the experience to do really well. UPC is a great leader don't get me wrong but I don't understand the desire to go for four terms. The goal of a leader should be to bring along the next generation and I don't think sitting in the big chair for a fourth term is good for the region as a whole.
  • Ellenburg was the mature voice during the debate catfight. Also, UPC's platform is way too long.
  • I am leaning Vor after the debate, but am still very mixed. I love the competition and I am unsure about UPC's fourth term, but it's hard to deny he's done a good job. I am definitely an undecided voter over all.
  • I think there are some solid criticisms of the UPC/GK administration, but they have proven themselves open to constructive criticism and adaptable already. They have by far the highest floor of any ticket, and probably the highest ceiling, too.
    Also, if you're against them just because it's a fourth term for UPC, I think that's really silly.
  • wow so cool so epic this is very interesteing thanks very cool and swag i love elecshuns
  • None
  • Sincluda should make a last minute run
  • This has been a really strong election so far. I think the main race will probably come down to a fight between the UPC and Vor tickets, and imo UPC will win, but the incumbents have really been given a run for their money by both challengers which is a great thing.


Debate Results






  • The comments about UPC's attitude in debating may cause him problems.
  • idk, I liked upc's strategy but I do think Vor performed best just based on how much the debate helped each ticket. Upc successfully defended his positions but Vor emerged as a serious contender. I think some people may be swayed by his arguments, particularly from neutral people, Ellenburg supporters, and generally people who think we need a different president regardless of upc's good qualities
  • UPC seemed to really dominate and while Vor kept up, Ellenburg seemed to just keep taking punches to the face without commenting or giving weak replies.
  • Excellent moderators
  • Vor and Ellenburg did a good job with upc's low blows and blantly arrogant and confident tone during the debate.
  • The "after party" and live commentary by citizens on the discord is more fun than the debate.
  • Still like Ellenburg for his experience and platform, though the VP choice is questionable due to lack of recent executive experience
  • UPC did good, but Vor's overall approach won me over and established him as a very serious contender. Maybe as the debate fades from mind, I'll drift back to UPC.
  • UPC was feistier than necessary and gave up ground that he didn't have to, but presented as even more experienced than his opponents than I thought he was initially.
    Vor opened up some solid lines of attack on UPC, but my preexisting concerns with him regarding volatility and foreign policy deepened.
    Ellenburg failed to demonstrate how his experience translates into readiness for the presidency, and folded when targeted while delivering few strong blows himself. Ended up as a bystander in many exchanges.
  • UPC was a bit pushy
  • debat
  • the way it came off was UPC was more on the attacking based on the wording that was choosen of their opponents.
  • Nope
  • UPC and Vor had great showings. Ellenburg was good, just seemed to be playing it safe a lot of the time.

I did not put commentary in the article, but 2 interesting things I noticed:

UPC/GK has both better ticket and platform favorability, at 57.6% and 42.4% respectively, than projected vote percentage at 39.4%. The opposite is true of Ellenburg/Cordova I, who got 18.2% on both the ticket and platform question, but jumped to 24.2% on the vote question.

There were only 4 undecideds in the support question, and they split between Ellenburg and Vor, with none going to UPC.

Also, we got a lot of comments (12 and 14 on 2 questions), and a lot of them are pretty long! I'm glad that there is so much engagement and interest here.
