Polls show the race to succeed President Barack Obama is tight.

The poll, conducted by Muhlenberg College and Morning Call, found the former secretary of state leading the Republican presidential nominee by 3 points in a head-to-head matchup, a 6-point drop from a similar survey conducted a week ago. That poll, released Sunday, has Clinton at 40% to Trump’s 38%, with Johnson at 8% and Stein at 3%. Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson and Green Party candidate Jill Stein were at 5% and 1%, respectively.

According to the New York Times, media experts expect the viewing figures for Monday’s debate to shatter records and it could attract as many as 100 million viewers.

Monday’s 90-minute event will kick off at 9 p.m. ET and will be moderated by NBC’s Lester Holt, who is expected to touch on broad themes of national security, economic growth and the country’s direction. When asked, 47 percent said Clinton would win while just 33 percent said Trump would be victorious. “If dopey Mark Cuban of failed Benefactor fame wants to sit in the front row, perhaps I will put Gennifer Flowers right alongside of him”, he tweeted. Cuban and Trump spar often.

Some 44 percent of respondents said they expected Clinton to win, while just 34 percent saw Trump emerging as the victor.

Mike Pence was left to clean up Trump’s mess on Fox News Sunday, “Gennifer Flowers will not be attending the debate tomorrow night”. When Conway claimed that Trump only takes part in “counter punches”, Tapper fired back.

Flowers had an extramarital affair with Bill Clinton in the late 1980s. “I think the fact that Donald Trump is spending the hours before this debate on this sort of thing is indicative of the kind of leader he would be”, Mook said on CNN.
