Post-debate poll shows Clinton holding 9-point lead over Trump

He repeated his claims that the “system is rigged”, adding that there was “no way” he is down in the polls in Pennsylvania.

With election day exactly four weeks away, Trump is playing to his base.

“I don’t know how you win if you lose the suburbs by a certain percentage”, said Terry Madonna, a Franklin and Marshall pollster.

Clinton tried at times to take the high road, glossing over Trump’s charges and accusing him of trying to distract from his political troubles.

The first debate’s only real competition was Monday Night Football, airing on ESPN. “Now she wants to be president”. We want everybody to vote.

In a brazen pre-debate move, Trump met with three women who accused the former president of sexual harassment and even rape, then invited them to sit in the debate hall, not far from Bill Clinton and his family.

While there hasn’t been much polling out of battleground states following the release of the Trump tape, the two released on Monday in Wisconsin and North Carolina both give the Democratic nominee leads of 8 points and 1 point, respectively. “But Bill Clinton has sexually assaulted innocent women and Hillary Clinton was attacking those women viciously”.

Trump also brought Hillary Clinton’s email situation to the forefront, and did so aggressively knowing that the moderators, CNN’s Anderson Cooper and ABC News’ Martha Raddatz, would not question her about that particular subject.

Representatives from Clinton’s campaign confirmed at the stop at Ohio State was the largest stop to date nationwide. Simmons, whose mail-in ballot arrived on Friday, hours before she and other Americans learned of Trump’s lewd comments, said the video led her to consider backing Clinton.

She also hit Trump over the comments he made the 2005 tape about women.

As Trump and Clinton headed Monday to key swing states after their fiery debate clash, with 29 days to go until Election Day, Ryan said he would not campaign with or for the provocative NY real estate mogul for the remainder of the race.

According to a brand new Politico/Morning Consult poll, 42% of respondents said Hillary Clinton won Sunday night’s presidential debate, while only 28% said Donald Trump did. He tweeted that Ryan is a “very weak and ineffective leader”.

The survey was conducted October 5-9, with 44 percent of interviews coming after news broke about an 11-year-old tape showing Trump making lewd remarks about women.

Clinton campaign communications director Jennifer Palmieri describes the race as a “really hard reckoning” for the country.

In New York’s 22nd District – an open, potentially swingy district that is on Democrats’ watch list – House Republicans’ campaign arm put up an ad attacking the Democratic candidate, Kim Myers, for being a “rubber-stamp liberal” for Clinton.
