The polls have spoken. Hillary won the debate.

[DanTex]

Turns out that the pundits were right and the online polls were wrong. There are now 4 post-debate scientific polls.

NBC-WSJ 49-29 (+21)
ABC-WaPo 54-23 (+31)
Monmouth 48-21 (+27)
CNN/ORC 45-29 (+16)

HRC is ahead by an average of 23.5 points in these polls.

In the four last polls before the debate, according to RCP, her lead averaged 19.25, an improvement of 4.25.

The last pre-debate polls by these same pollsters had leads of 7 (NBC-WSJ), 20 (Monmouth), 18 (ABC-WaPo) and 18 (CNN/ORC), for an average of 15.75, and an improvement of 7.75.

The Hillary rebound and Bernie plateau are now clearly visible even in the default HuffPo chart that Bernie fans like so much because it starts way back in 2013 which makes the earlier Bernie surge look so steep.

1. Don't forget NH-PPP

Big win.

11. That's pretty insulting, really.

The OP is about polling numbers, but your implication is about something altogether different, it seems to me. Clearly, Clinton's polling has improved. Is it a new trend? There's no way to tell without more time passing, but people are noticing that her numbers are better following the debate.

Nobody needs to "get a room." This is a room, and we're all in it together. Polling information is just that - information. What it means is open for debate, but it is information.

I see no reason to insult people for bringing information to the table for discussion. But, maybe I'm misunderstanding your comment. If so, I'm listening...

14. Yup.

17. I used to believe homophobia was endemic to the right but alas I was wrong or maybe not.

This should have been a 7-0 hide, disgusting!!!

15. That was a very pleasant surprise.

[Agschmid]

16. Yes, I'm sure there will be ups and downs.

I'm comfortable with that, it's all part of the process, but it's nice to have a good day.

5. But Google Analytics said otherwise!

6. A teachable moment in debate performances.

It is a skill very few of us posses. All of our candidates did quite well. The difference between the republicans and democrats debates is night and day. Really made me proud to be a democrat.

[Agschmid]

7. Yup.

[Dawgs]

8. And America lost.

9. People got upset when I said a few weeks ago that Sanders had plateaued

And I knew time would prove me right b

10. Well aren't you special.

[MineralMan]

12. Another snarky response?

Why? Poll results are just numbers. The numbers are in the OP. They may not meet with your approval, but there they are. Clinton supporters are pleased with those numbers. Why should they not be, and why should they not discuss them in a DU thread?


On edit: I see that your previous reply was hidden and that you're now on a time-out, so I won't expect a reply. It's too bad that your voice on DU is silenced for a while.
