Majority of snap polls show Trump won debate by a landslide

CNN awarded Hillary Clinton an overwhelming victory in the first presidential debate - but most snap polls show Trump emerged victorious.

Trump and Clinton tangled over the economy, her use of a private mail server and his unwillingness to release his income tax returns on Monday night.

They engaged in a vigorous back-and-forth on the debate stage at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York, as polls showed them locked in a tight race.

However, after the debate's end, polls conducted by a number of media websites showed their readers felt the real estate mogul came out on top.

Trump acknowledged the result, tweeting: 'Wow, did great in the debate polls (except for @CNN - which I don't watch). Thank you!'

CNN/ORC's snap poll, gave Clinton the win with 62 per cent to Trump's 27.

It was the biggest, and fastest, exercise conducted by an opinion polling firm.

The poll of 521 registered voters who watched the debate was a sample which the network warned leaned more Democratic than the average - starting the night with Clinton ahead 26 per cent among the sample.

And while it handed the victory overwhelmingly to Clinton, it was more mixed on whether the debate will make a difference, with 47 per cent saying it would not affect their vote, 34 per cent saying it moved them towards Clinton - and 18 per cent towards Trump.

Online polls carried out afterwards gave a different outcome - handing the title to Trump.

Such polls are self-selecting, and more likely to pick up the views of those who vote, although CNN's study also reflected a similar bias.

The Drudge Report's poll showed Trump fared better with 81.5 per cent of the vote to Clinton's 18.5 while others, including Time, CBS New York and the Washington Times, also saw Trump win the vote.

Clinton edged out Trump in the Star Tribune's poll and one conducted by NBC News.

Here are the some of the results from snap polls:

I suspect he has a bigger internet presence than her.

 

[Jbunker]

If polls like this had any bearing, Ron Paul would be president.

 

[Mordan]

I suspect he has a bigger internet presence than her.

what is more informed? A bloke watching TV exclusively or someone on the Internet?

 

[John F Kennedy III]

If polls like this had any bearing, Ron Paul would be president.

Truth.

 

[John F Kennedy III]

Trump doesn't just have a bigger internet presence, he dwarfs her rally crowds.

Let's say internet polls became harder to ignore as time went by.

You beat me to it.

It doesn't matter who's more informed. It only matters who shows up to vote.

Shocking results from the TrumpReport.

Trump doesn't just have a bigger internet presence, he dwarfs her rally crowds.

President-elect Trump (well a little more than a month officially for that title) controlled the debate -
I was just thinking how he is the one who brought up the names of other countries - not Lester Holt or Secretary Clinton -
specific to bring up Mexico, China several times of course, Iran, Libya, South Korea and don't get me started - NAFTA.

What were they gonna talk about, Secretary Clinton's website ?

But biggest . . . he got Secretary Clinton to admit her "mistake" with hiring a lackey, rogue internet provider instead of the order
to use government internet access . . . YUUUGE!

Trump didn't even remotely control the debate.

Trump didn't even remotely control the debate.

Of course, he did.

Lester Holt tried to manipulate around Trump cutting him off or trying to shorten a response -
but instead they talked about those items much more -
he even got Secretary Clinton to admit her mistake - which was actually criminal -
Holt would try to stop him, but futile . . . time after time after time - and Trump handled it quite well -
ALWAYS getting in what he wanted to say - bringing it up or discussing it maybe not so eloquently.

Politicians like the Clintons for 26 years (longer going back to Arkansas days) have been the reason that companies leave the USA -
NAFTA was a disaster - and Secretary Clinton on the defensive with a smug, glib "Well . . . *sigh* I voted against CAFTA.

Topics that Lester Holt or Hillary would NOT EVER have brought up. That is CONTROL!

Trump bringing up NAFTA was probably his best moment. Other than that he spent 90 minutes of the defensive and recycled essentially the same 3 lines over and over. A big failure on his part was not even attempting to turn the Birther issue back on Hillary.

You can also tell he doesn't practice this by the way he has to audibly suck air through his nose after every sentence.

What of your "three lines" are YOU using in the spin zone today ?

Sounds like short term memory loss fer ya' - it was only like an hour and a half long debate . . .
the shortest Presidential debate in history for Hillary's health concerns.

Birther issue - LOL Trump said he didn't know much, and got them to come up with a birth certificate
that they may have gotten 3 years earlier - no loss there for Trumpl

The Dimocrat spin rooms ARE playing that as a "race card" issue . . . LOL

Sorry, we are NOT getting fooled by the Clinton machine.

 

[angelatc]

Truth.

Yep.

 

[kahless]

Polldaddy could not handle the traffic it seems so that drudge poll shown in that PIC did not work for a good hour or more well after the debate. The results likely would be the same but the number of people polled likely would be a factor of 10x higher.

 

[CaptUSA]

Shocking results from the TrumpReport.

Lol... Not really. Especially, since the first few hours after the debate, it was nearly impossible to vote for Clinton. (Saw some posts about people getting an hour glass and tried it myself to confirm.) Drudge also linked to several of those other polls to drive his traffic over there as well.

Hell, imagine how Ron Paul could have done in online polls if we had Drudge posting the links to them!

This whole thing is a sham. It's a sham within a sham, wrapped up in another sham.

But you're getting fooled by her friend Trump's machine. Also it was Trump's 3 lines not mine and if you need to ask what they were then maybe you're the one with short term memory problems.

Birther issue started with Hillary in 2008. Trump didn't mention that, just let her use it on him and say he was racist because of it.
