Morphine Prince 109,650 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Well over 80 million people tuned in to see Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump face off, setting a new record in the sixty year history of televised presidential debates. According to Nielsen, the debate averaged a total of 84 million viewers across 13 of the TV channels that carried it live. Many millions also watched the debate via live streams on the web. Nielsen's 84 million total counts people who watched via traditional TV channels at home. People who watched the debate at parties, bars, restaurants, and offices were not counted. Neither were C-SPAN viewers. This means the actual total audience is even higher.

Sylvanas 5,768 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 This is good news! Donald did poorly and Clinton absolutely killed it!

LaLuna 12,732 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Do we know if the debate has affected the voting intention? I'm praying that last night opened people's eyes as to how unfit Trump is to be the next president. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm praying that last night opened people's eyes as to how unfit Trump is to be the next president. Not sure about a nation wide scale but when I went to the courthouse today to change my party to Democrat and get my grandmother registered to vote (for Hillary ) I overheard plenty of conversations about Hillary and Trump. Mostly leaning towards Hillary and since Central Florida is apparently a big prize to take, I'd say that's pretty great The woman working, the one that hands out forms, checks on things....I'm not sure what they're official titles are anyway, she said Trump is a total ass and quite a few people in line nodded their heads, said "yup!", or agreed in some other way Spoiler Excuse my poor writing skills, I'm very tired Whimsical bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One poll taken before and after the debate saw a large increase for Hillary. I don't think it'll change much, but I'm hoping it'll shift in Hill's favor.

And congress has a single digit approval rating (I think) yet none of them got voted out in the last congressional election. Local elections go by without most people even knowing there was one It's not just your right to vote, it's your duty to! Get your voice heard in every election! I for one am voting blue up and down. Even at the local level. Democrats annoy me but I can't stand the Republican party Whimsical bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
