. . . judging From Post-Debate Polls.......
And history suggests his chances for recovery are bleak.
Losing the first presidential debate was bad for Trump.
Donald Trump dropped in the polls following the first presidential
debate, allowing Hillary Clinton to open up a significant lead. History
suggests that the Republican nominee will not be able to recover.
Heading into their first meeting, Hillary Clinton led Trump by just 1.6
points. That narrow margin meant Trump had a chance to shift the race in
his favor. Instead, he slumped by a significant 3 points.
That tumble in the polls put Trump in an especially bad spot: History
suggests that the candidate who is ahead in the polls after the first
debate will end up winning the election. A week after their meeting,
Clinton was ahead by nearly 5 points.
The HuffPost Pollster national chart, which aggregates public polls,
finds him now trailing Clinton by 6 points ? 41 percent to 47 percent.
And the HuffPost Pollster forecast model places Clinton’s odds of
winning the presidency at 81.9 percent and Trump’s at 17.8 percent.
Of course, something dramatic could still happen. But right now, Clinton
looks to be on the path to victory.
