Many post-debate public opinion polls suggested that Hillary Clinton likely beat Donald Trump in their first face-off, and now that appears to be having an impact on election projections.
.......................

Predictions coming from Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight show Clinton's chances of winning the presidency at 64.8 percent, as opposed to Trump's 35.2 percent -- that's according to his "polls plus" prediction.



If the election were taking place immediately, the data suggests that the former Secretary of State is more likely to win the presidency by a 3 to 1 margin.
.................................

FiveThirtyEight projects Clinton will win 291 electoral votes come November, with Trump just shy of 247. A candidate must win 270 electoral votes in order to become the next president. ..........................

1. It shouldn't even be that close

Don't count your chickens

We have work to do

and the Senate is one horrible mess right now

[Egnever]

3. It won't be

I counted my chickens before this election started. Trump being the nominee only added chickens.

[bucolic_frolic]

4. LOL How many chickens do you have now?

and where are you keeping them?

[FrodosPet]

6. And worse, they were chickens coated with...gasp...CORN FLAKES!!!

[getagrip_already]

11. No no no. It's.

ORANGE flavored chicken.

[ffr]

2. Want to make a side bet? I'm thinking her total will be 347

give or take. Which means Donald won't break 200.

The real question will be turnout and whether or not she'll have congressional coattails. She gets turnout, there's a very good chance democrats can drive the agenda.

9. I'm thinking Thumps weird behavior alone, not just his lack of policy

will motivate left, center and right to run, not walk, to the polls in record numbers to vote for Hill.

5. A Republican on Chris Hayes' show just said Trump only has about a 20%

chance of winning

7. Here is the problem:

Apathy. Non-voters. Particularly millenials and non-whites.

8. Nice debait bounce, Hillz!

That fat carp swallowed hook, line and sinker. There's blood on the water! Excellent choice of bait, by the way.

[Ilsa]

10. Looking for a landslide, myself.

I want Hil to hand him his ass and send him home.
