Hillary Clinton Won the First Debate by Every Metric

http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/09/hillary-clinton-won-the-first-debate-by-every-metric.html?mid=facebook_nymag

Donald Trump won large victories in online polls conducted by Breitbart and the Drudge Report. Which is a bit like saying the GOP nominee won a poll of his rallygoers.
...
But when we concentrate on scientific polls — which are based on random samples of debate viewers — Clinton was the clear winner.

CNN’s survey found 62 percent of voters saying the Democratic nominee had won the contest, while just 27 percent said that about Trump. That’s the third-widest margin that CNN or Gallup had recorded in a post-debate poll since 1984, FiveThirtyEight notes.

Meanwhile, Public Policy Polling found Clinton winning by a margin of 51 to 40 percent. More critically for Clinton, 63 percent of younger voters saw her as the winner. One of the primary reasons Trump is nipping at Clinton’s heels — even as he’s earned the antipathy of most nonwhite voters and a good many women — is that roughly a third of millennial voters have been pledging their allegiance to third parties. But after Monday night’s debate, 47 percent of voters under 30 told PPP they were more likely to vote for Clinton than before the evening began.

Anyone who still plans to vote for Trump, vote for a third party candidate or not to vote at all is living in their own narcissistic reality as Trump does. But what they don't seem to realize is that Trump's reality is ALL about him and NOT about them.

Frankly, I'm done with such people.
