CNN Poll:

"Most evenly divided sample"

Clinton: 52%
Trump: 39%

[MasterJedi]

CNN Poll of Debate Watchers, skews Dem but more evenly divided as the other two.

Clinton 52%
Trump 39%

When Hillary is winning even those "undecided" focus groups, you know Trump lost BIGLY.

A tie is a defeat for Trump. No way to spin it.

She actually won the focus group because she won 11 votes to Trump's 5

[ApatheticAustrian]

many "positive" signs for trump by now compared to the second debate.

maybe cause the video-gate thingie is slowly fading and people think more in lines of partisan frontiers now.

imho this was by far trump's worst debate.

when's the last time a candidate lost three debates in a row and won the Presidency?

Didn't Bush lose all three in 2004?

Only 52-39 for Clinton in the Dem-leaning CNN poll. Narrowest margin of all. Can't quite completely call the election as a result.

CNN said the sample was even.

I think they had him winning the 2nd one.

Bush was also significantly ahead of Kerry before the debates, and the debates resulted in the race narrowing again.

Not to this extent

Undercover Trumpster. Sit down.

[Maxwell]

amazing Trump has lost every debate by a substantial margin! What a loser!

[Darthpi – Anti-Florida Activist]

So both scientific polls have Hillary winning by double digits, and that's before the absolute tidal wave of negative press Trump is going to get for the rest of the week for refusing to say he will respect the peaceful transition of power.

[Gass3268]

Crazy how the CNN and YouGov debate polls essentailly mirror the national polls.

[Mike88]

CNN focus group

Clinton 11
Trump 9
Draw 1

[ApatheticAustrian]

these focus groups are strange.

have been too after the second debate.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Beautiful!

[Phony Moderate]

So Trump's percentage in those polls is well in line with his current percentage in the national voting intention polls. Doubt his bottom has fallen out as a result of this. I'd say both candidates gave a performance that appealed to their own bases above all else - hence Hillary's overwhelmingly margin in the poll on here.

[ApatheticAustrian]

even if the undecideds would break to trump i couldn't bring my head around why THIS debate would bring trump any points.

his worst imho.

Donna Brazile is making a complete ass of herself on Fox News.  Megyn Kelly is righteously destroying her.  Brazile may actually be worse than DWS.  It's utterly pathetic.

They're composed of undecided voters who are most likely Republicans or conservative leaning independents. If they're splitting evenly, its a win for Hillary.
