With a vast majority of likely voters watching, the first Trump vs. Clinton debate has finally arrived.
And a CNN/ORC poll found that just one point separates Clinton and Trump in both Pennsylvania and Colorado, two states that are critical to both candidates’ election chances. The same question will then be asked to Trump. “I doubt he will have a command of the issues”.
However, Kay says that if Donald Trump does become the next president of the United States, he won’t have as much power as he thinks he will.
Geist has been vocal in his support of Trump’s candidacy; he spoke on the first night of the Republican National Convention alongside fellow security contractor John Tiegen about the attack in Benghazi.
If you’d rather watch the debate through your laptop or PC, you can do so by visiting ABC, CBS, NBC or Reuters website.
Trump has also lost ground in New Mexico, where he trails 47 points to 38 points. The Clinton campaign subsequently said she had been diagnosed with pneumonia. “Hillary Clinton’s casual relationship with the truth is well known to Americans”.
During presidential debates, outbursts from the audience – including cheering and booing – are not permitted. But there are other ways to watch the debate tonight, whether that be on mobile, through your TV or your laptop.
The two candidates have been on the campaign trail for months but tonight is the first time they will take direct aim at each other in the 90-minute debate live from NY.
It will be moderated by NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt.
The stakes couldn’t be higher for either Mr. Trump or Mrs. Clinton who will need a breakthrough moment if they hope to find a surge in the polls.
Individual polls reflect just how tight this year’s race stands ahead of the debate on Monday.

Major networks were also unwilling to commit to the chyron fact-checks they’ve taken to using to correct candidates in real time, according to a Monday report from Politico.
