Cori Zek：拜登在总统辩论中的表现差强人意，让她对投票意向产生动摇，甚至考虑改投特朗普。她认为特朗普在辩论中表现更好，并且特朗普在堕胎问题上的立场出乎她的意料，让她开始重新审视对特朗普的看法。她目前处于犹豫不决的状态，仍在权衡利弊。拜登在辩论中的表现让她感到难过，认为拜登缺乏足够的精力和表达能力。虽然她不喜欢特朗普的性格，但她认为如果特朗普能为美国人民带来好处，她愿意为此‘让步’。她认为候选人在政策问题上的立场比个人品格更重要。特朗普关于1月6日事件的解释让她重新思考了对这件事的看法。她目前正在考虑三位候选人：拜登、特朗普和罗伯特·肯尼迪。 旁白：最新的民调显示特朗普领先拜登9个百分点，并且自辩论以来，更换拜登作为民主党候选人的途径并不明显。 Caroline和James：许多美国人，无论其政治立场如何，都同意美国需要一场更好地代表他们的选举。 Robert：所有心怀善意的美国人都应该为总统辩论中展现出的状况感到难过。 Alex：他倾向于投票给拜登，但他更希望有更好的候选人选择。 Stephen：他担心拜登的年龄和健康状况，不会投票给拜登或特朗普，他主要反对拜登是因为拜登的年龄和健康状况，认为拜登无法胜任总统职务。 Zach：他不确定在11月如何投票，因为他不满意两位主要候选人。他认为如果继续选择‘较小之恶’，最终可能会损害国家利益，因此他可能会选择不投票给任何一位主要候选人。 Ruth Agelnik：最新的民调显示，特朗普在可能投票的人群中领先拜登6个百分点，在注册选民中领先9个百分点。民调显示，认为拜登年龄过大的选民增加了5个百分点。

The latest national poll) from The New York Times and Siena College shows former President Donald J. Trump leading President Biden by nine percentage points among registered voters — a pretty big shift in his direction in the week since the presidential debate.

It has become clear in the past week that there is no obvious path to replacing Mr. Biden as the Democratic Party’s nominee. But there is a strong desire among Americans for something different.

We heard that directly from voters we met last week in Kenosha, Wis., at a gathering of a group called Braver Angels. It’s a nonpartisan organization that finds common ground across political divisions, and it proved a perfect focus group after the debate.

We asked these deeply engaged citizens, who had chosen to spend their free time debating policy and politics, how they were feeling about their options for president in November.

Their perspective reinforced the gap that this unique political moment has exposed between voters and party leaders.

The questions are: Has Mr. Biden’s debate performance made the continuation of his campaign untenable? And what, if anything, should happen next?
