Hillary Clinton won the debate in a landslide

October 07 23:16 2016

Hillary Clinton leads Donald Trump in Florida following the first presidential debate, according to a new poll.

Circling back to the debate, Trump also said that he was misrepresented by the media, who said that Clinton won, when according to Trump, the polls showed otherwise.

For instance, 43 percent of voters said they’d be comfortable with Trump as president, compared to 50 percent who said the same about Clinton.

Some don’t like either of them. “Trump’s number dropped from 42 percent in August to 38 percent today, but he lost many of his voters to Gary Johnson, not Clinton”.

Public Policy Polling’s national poll released yesterday shows Clinton ahead by four points, and the latest Rasmussen poll – which has been a Trump-leaning survey throughout the campaign – released on Thursday showed a six-point swing in Clinton’s direction in just a week.

According to the HuffPost Pollster average, which aggregates publicly available polls, Clinton is ahead of Trump in all three states: by 4 points in MI, 5 points in New Hampshire and 2 points in Florida.

Reuters news agency conducted its own poll which suggests Americans feel Clinton won the debate but it didn’t really do anything to give her a bump in voter support. One advisor said Tuesday that Trump had been “made aware” that he did not perform well at the debate.

The scientific survey showed the Democratic nominee leading the Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump, 44 percent to 40 percent.

On the stump last night, Trump complained that Clinton’s campaign is the most “unserious” in history – there was no indication he was kidding – while repeating a discredited conspiracy theory about Google “suppressing” bad news about Clinton. It took place after the Sept. 26 debate, between Sept. 27 and Sept. 29.

Republican pollster Glen Bolger said it was unfortunate that these post-debate surveys, meant to drive traffic, were even conducted because they muddied the water for legitimate polls. Trump is buoyed by strong support among men and white voters.

The Suffolk University fielded the poll from September 27-29 and comes with a +/- 4.4 percent margin of error.

Clinton has a 7 point advantage in the Tampa Bay area. Clinton is up THREE POINTS among likely voters in the POLITICO/Morning Consult poll of the four-way race for president. Its margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3 percentage points.

Clinton’s campaign is also proactively addressing the issue, by saying that Trump and his surrogates would regret taking this route of attack.

In the first, high-stakes debate hosted by Hofstra University in NY, “both candidates were more wonky than warm, and both failed to connect to the people in a direct way”.
