Who Won The First Debate?
Well, it seems it largely depends on who you ask. CNN's formal poll gave the debate handily to Clinton: 62 to 27. That's a landslide. Some betting markets also appeared to give the win to the Democrat.
However, a number of instant polls gave it to Trump, all from liberal-oriented organizations:
TIME: Trump 54% - Clinton 46% (1.5 million votes)
CNBC: Trump 67% - Clinton 33% (900k votes)
NJ.com: Trump 57% - Clinton 38% (225k votes)
On top of that, the CNN poll's internals showed a 15% oversampling of Democrats, which doesn't represent the 2016 electorate, but based on this poll the media narrative is that Clinton won. We will see how this plays out.

What?! *Bias* on the part of the liberal mainstream media?! What's this world coming to?!
