Clinton +4 (incl Johnson/Stein), +6 two-way per new CBS poll

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/hillary-clinton-edges-ahead-of-donald-trump-after-first-presidential-debate-hofstra-2016-cbs-nyt-poll/

No need to ask who won the debate, with tidbits like this:

On balance, the recent presidential debate has had a more positive impact on views of Clinton than on views of Trump. Likely voters who watched the first presidential debate are twice as likely to say the debate made them think better of Clinton (32 percent) than worse (16 percent). For Trump, the reverse is true. Only 10 percent of voters who watched the debate say it made them think better of him, while 36 percent say it made their opinion of him worse. For about half of likely voters the debate had no effect on their impressions of the candidates.

Far more Democratic voters (58 percent) than Republican voters (22 percent) say the image of their candidate improved after the debate.

Thirty-nine percent of registered voters overall now say they are very enthusiastic about voting, a slight increase from last month. The percentage of Clinton voters who are very enthusiastic about voting has risen seven points since before the first debate – from 39 percent to 46 percent - which now matches the 46 percent of Trump voters who are very enthusiastic. Seven in 10 registered voters who support someone other than the two major party candidates are either not too (22 percent) or not at all (49 percent) enthusiastic about voting.
...

Just half of likely voters strongly favor their candidate, and another 27 percent like their candidate with reservations; 23 percent have made their choice because they dislike the other candidates. However, more Clinton voters (55 percent) strongly favor their candidate than Trump voters (47 percent). Nearly half (44 percent) of those voting for Johnson, Stein, or another third-party candidate are doing so because they dislike their other options.
