Debate 3 Poll, Focus Group, Pundit Reaction Megathread

[ApatheticAustrian]

nationalreview and almost all never-trump pundits think this was a clear hillary win.

[ApatheticAustrian]

megyn kelly is a much more original thinker and more telegenic person than HRC.

it's a skill, not everyone can do it.

HRC was at her peak this night imho...proud of her.

[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.

[ApatheticAustrian]

if you lose the WSJ....

[ApatheticAustrian]

these focus groups are strange.

have been too after the second debate.

[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.

[ApatheticAustrian]

Disagree strongly.  Trump was clearly stronger tonight than in the 1st debate, and if it weren't for the rigged election rant, it would have been the best of the 3 for him.  Barring further revelations worse than last week's tape, his base will hold.

i could be biased but he was shouting his "insta-comments" on hillary's answers all the time, talking nonsense about most topics, didn't really answer one single question, called hillary nasty and seemed unqualified in every possible way.

the rigged-thing was just the cherry which may even be a positive for him, since it will let the rest of his awful debate fade soon.

let's wait for the real (non-flash) polls.

it's just stunnung for me that even a hardcore-trump-fan would describe this as winning. most unamerican and factual wrong and unbalanced candidate i have seen.

[ApatheticAustrian]

the weekly sturmer update...or like paul begala said, as a christian i do 2 things...first i read the holy bible and then look at breitbart to know what the other side is saying.

[ApatheticAustrian]

Who would better handle SCOTUS nomination?
Trump 49
Clinton 48

the third question makes me suspicious this sample was a little bit too republican...

but if people who think trump would be better on the SC still give clinton a 13 points edge....i will take it any day.

[ApatheticAustrian]

those results are quite surprising for me but i guess we are going to need 2 or 3 more days anyway to see some long-term "real" polls.

[ApatheticAustrian]

like i said:

what kind of sample would trust trump on the SC and still call it a clinton win?

must be quite republican-ish.

[ApatheticAustrian]

blame the conservatives in the northeast.

they should know better.

[ApatheticAustrian]

it baffles me that an "anti-free-trade"-candidate (whetever this means) just has to scream about injustice and fraud, without ever giving any specifics or detailed plans and gets the approval from a small majority of formally uneducated voters.

are those people desperate or cynical?

edit:......the hillary campaign is playing in a much higher league than the DJT troop...
