Majority of snap polls show Trump won debate by a landslide

4chan and Reddit bombarded debate polls to declare Trump the winner

You may be getting trolled right now without even knowing it.

Donald Trump supporters artificially manipulated the results of online polls to create a false narrative that the Republican nominee won the first presidential debate on Monday night.

The efforts originated from users of the pro-Trump Reddit community r/The_Donald and 4chan messaged boards, which bombarded around 70 polls

and I hope some people here remember when Romney folk were caught gaming the NPR March Madness poll, and 4Chan helped us out.

Here is the graph for those who missed it...

+Rep. Best post on this topic.

By this weekend, it's going to be pretty much universally accepted that Trump really screwed up this debate. (if not sooner) Even Trumpcuckers will start hanging their hats on "next time".
 
Lol, Trump lost the debate badly. It was obvious he was losing 20 min into it and it only got worse from there.
 
Wow- even Breitbart- who is working on Trump's campaign- says Clinton won the debate. http://www.breitbart.com/2016-presidential-race/2016/09/26/debate-flash-poll/

Democratic nominee for president Hillary Clinton edged her GOP rival Donald Trump in Monday’s presidential debate held at Hofstra University before a television audience estimated at 100 million viewers, according to a Breitbart/Gravis “flash poll” conducted minutes after the debate ended.

Pat Caddell, the Democratic pollster and Fox News Insider, told Breitbart News that poll respondents said Clinton performed better at the debate; 48 percent said Clinton did a better job, compared to 43 percent, who said Trump did the better job.

“However, 95 percent of the people we contacted told us they were not going to change their vote based on the debate,” Caddell said.

Two percent of voters, previously undecided, switched to Trump after the debate. No undecideds went to Clinton. One percent switched from Trump to Clinton, and one percent switched from Clinton to Trump.

“Trump won on the most critical factor, on whether Clinton or Trump was more ‘plausible’ as president, 46 percent to her 42 percent,” he said.

“That for him is really what this debate was really about,” he said.

Participants said they thought Clinton had a better grasp of the issues, by 48 percent to his 40 percent.

“With regards to expectations, 26 percent said Trump did better than they expected,” he said.

“Clinton clearly did better than expected with 46 percent telling us that and only 20 percent telling us she did worse,” he said.

This is literally like the 4,000th time I've seen somebody say Trump is done.. What are the odds that this time, you're right? Not good.
