Poll: Clinton won second debate

Democratic presidential nominee Hilary Clinton won the second presidential debate, according to a Politico/Morning Consult poll released Tuesday.

{mosads}The poll found 42 percent of voters said Clinton won Sunday night’s debate, compared with just 28 percent who said Republican nominee Donald Trump was victorious.

Thirteen percent of Republicans also said Clinton won the debate.

More than 80 percent of voters, however, said the debate did nothing to change their minds.

A majority of voters also thought Sunday night’s debate moderators did well. Six in 10 voters said CNN’s Anderson Cooper and ABC’s Martha Raddatz did a good or excellent job moderating.

And the poll found a majority of voters said Trump is racist and out of touch with average Americans. Another 60 percent of voters think the GOP nominee is sexist.

Sixty-three percent of voters, meanwhile, think Clinton is overly secretive and 55 percent think the Democratic nominee is corrupt.

The poll was conducted on Monday among 2,001 registered voters, including 1,757 likely voters. The margin of error is 3 percentage points.

Other polls conducted after the debate have also shown Clinton as the winner of the latest debate.

A CNN/ORC snap poll found Clinton came out victorious in the debate, 57 percent to 34 percent. A poll conducted by YouGov also gave Clinton a win, 47 percent to 42 percent.
