Hillary chance of winning has risen from a low point of 51.3% to the current 62.2% Expect it to go much higher as the new polls come in and start to over shadow polling before the debate. It will take at least 2 weeks before we will see the model fully change.

(5,648 posts)....as new polls come in for the first time after the debate. This year there are lot of undecided voters.
In addition, normally as we get closer to the election those who early on said they will be voting for 3rd party candidates often have second thoughts about throwing their votes away and start again considering which of the two major party candidates to support. This normal trend could be larger than usual after Johnson had another Aleppo moment were he couldn't remember the name of even one world leader. The post debate buzz should favor Hillary if and when those voters start to reconsider.
