Hillary Clinton will receive a 3 to 5 percentage point polling bump as a result of the first presidential debate, according to a Democratic pollster who tracked trendlines in 10 key states 48 hours after the event.

Clinton's performance was viewed best among voters in Virginia, New Hampshire and Florida while voters in Nevada, Pennsylvania and Colorado were the least moved by the former secretary of state on Monday night.

But overall, according to data compiled by the Democratic public research firm Lincoln Park Strategies, the majority of voters in all 10 swing states being tracked gave Clinton the advantage over Republican nominee Donald Trump.

"Trendency data also shows that Clinton's victory was stronger than just the top line numbers might indicate," says Stefan Hankins, president of Lincoln Park Strategies.

2. Hillary actually won this week's Rasmussen poll (+1 Hillary)

Nate Silver gives Rasmussen a +2 (R) house effect too.
