I wouldn't go so far as to say a "miracle" but this is well above my expectations in terms of image quality and framerate, and definitely one of the most impressive Switch ports of an 8th gen console game to date. It's a massive open world title that pushed even PS4 and Xbox One fairly hard, so the devs did a very admirable job is nipping and tucking to get the best experience possible on much less powerful hardware.

The lowest it dropped in their footage of night was 24fps briefly, so 24-30fps would be more accurate. For reference, the Xbox One version also drops below 30fps.
You also have to bear in mind the hardware in question; PS4 is a 2.8kg box drawing 130-160 watts, Switch is weighs about 290 grams and draws 11 watts. Of course a dedicated console from 2013 is going to have more raw power than a portable device from 2017.
The devs obviously had to make tough calls as to how to bridge this divide, and I think they did a great job.
