Clinton Wins Round One

Last night, the first televised debate in the US presidential election took place in Hempstead, New York. Moderated by NBC anchor Lester Holt, the back and forth between the two candidates certainly proved to be entertaining. While many post-debate polls have been conducted, the chart below takes a look at one by ORC for CNN. A majority 62 percent felt Clinton had come out on top of her rival Trump this time round. Of the 521 registered voters polled, 26% declared themselves to be Republican, 41% Democrat and 33% independent.
