Majority of Americans say Clinton won first debate against Trump – Reuters/Ipsos poll

Among those who are expected to take part in the November 8 general election, 34 percent said they felt that the debate changed their view of Clinton in a positive way, compared with 19 percent who said the same of Trump.

However, another poll from the La Times, which has consistently been a poll outlier, shows Trump ahead by 4.

A poll released Thursday by Public Policy Polling shows Clinton with a large lead among voters under 30, a group she has struggled with, in Colorado, Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. The first set of post-debate polls found Clinton holding a 3- to 5-point advantage over Trump.

Clinton went on to talk about the “tradition” of her family being attacked, and what she thought in the final moments of Monday’s debate between her mother, Hillary Clinton, and Trump. Thirteen percent of voters said they support Libertarian Gary Johnson. “There was a corresponding increase in Donald Trump’s unfavorable rating, and fewer voters see him as honest and trustworthy”.

A 41 percent plurality of voters say Donald Trump’s business background is getting the right amount of attention, while just 23 percent say it’s getting too much and 35 percent too little.

Sixty-two per cent said she was the victor, while just 27 per cent named Trump.

Notably, the campaign’s email also asked supporters for how to frame Clinton, with 18 of its 30 questions mentioning the Democratic nominee by name. “Maybe I should have sought to be more helpful through that entire process”.

Silver, who runs the fivethirtyeight.com election prediction Website, wrote that the contrast between Clinton, seeking to become the country’s first female president, and Trump “might be expected to produce a swing of 2 to 4 percentage points in the horse race polls” in her favor.

YouTube also found that the top country outside of the USA that turned in to watch the event live on YouTube was Canada followed by Mexico, Argentina, Australia and New Zealand.

The Reuters/Ipsos poll is conducted every day in English in all 50 states.
