Hillary Clinton won the second presidential debate, according to a CNN / ORC poll of debate watchers. The results showed a clear victory for Clinton, with 57% saying Clinton won, as opposed to 34% for Trump.
It's a strong showing for Clinton, but not as good as her performance at the first presidential debate, when 62% of debate watchers said she won.
The results Sunday also track closely with watchers' pre-debate preference. Fifty-eight percent of debate watchers said they were supporting Clinton before the debate.

Any idea how the polling was conducted? It doesn't say in the article, but I'm assuming it wasn't one of those online polls? Because those are easily manipulated.

Online? Hell no its one of those EXPENSIVE Operations and CNN does say because it has to be fast and quick its not weighted the same as CNN regular polls that are super high rating wise by Nate Silver
The CNN/ORC post-debate poll includes interviews with 521 registered voters who watched the September 26 debate. Results among debate-watchers have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4.5 percentage points. Respondents were originally interviewed as part of a September 23-25 telephone survey of a random sample of Americans, and indicated they planned to watch the debate and would be willing to be re-interviewed when it was over.
So it is he same Poll operation that CNN uses for their regular polls but you can imagine the cost of having an army of people on the phones and its Land Line and Cell phone calls and YOU can look up the questions they ask - But this stuff is so expensive very few even attempt to do this kind of super fast result system - The on line stuff is so bad even Fox News calls is crap

I did that quickly and did not read about the group being the same group that watched the first poll. From memory hours ago ONLY 17 percent of the people changed their mind on who to vote for based on this one debate - So minds are really made up when its 521 people
However that alone if this were truly scientific wood be enough to totally change the outcome if Trump and Clinton were neck to neck. Today back in 2012 Romney and Obama were neck to neck in the popular vote and that neck to neck held right to the very end.
Clinton is kicking Trumps ass by +5.71 which in USA Presidential politics is a HUGE margin - She was even up to +10 prior to the first poll and I AM ON RECORD and Betting that the margin will increase over the next few days - OK I no for a fact one poll not yet published makes it UP and its a quality super high track record poll - That number is b4 the new bad news about the sex tape/talk and the rush to run from Trump
Trump who admits to watching the polls carefully and even selected his new Campaign manager er Co manager the gal She makes her living as a Pollster so she is clued in re which Polls really count as end result accurate Only a couple of Polls in past decades have been close to Spot on end result - The Guru Nate Silver has published Trumps odds and that was b4 the NEW Sex stuff
Your country now has a lot of my Cold Hard Cash THERE - Alas I was not able to get in on laying down more money during the current Sex shit - OUT Of spare money to lay down and I am really in over my head currently - I did lose re ur Brexit screw up

2% odds of Trump winning the primary.

In our polls-only model, Clinton’s chances were 55 percent before the debate
***[Editor me Thee Thy Syntax Note B4 the Debate refers to Debate number ONE]
and increased to 72 percent as of this Monday. But her odds have also grown significantly over the course of this week, to 80 percent now, which corresponds to a lead of 5 or 6 percentage point in the popular vote. Our polls-plus model has followed a similar but slightly more conservative trajectory, with Clinton’s probability increasing from 55 percent before the debate, to 68 percent on Monday, to 76 percent now.
The polls do not yet account for any fallout from the Washington Post’s explosive disclosure on Friday of a tape from 2005 in which Trump made a variety of lascivious comments about women, including bragging about being able to get away with groping women because he was “a star.”
Somewhat contrary to its reputation for being hyper-aggressive, even the polls-only model can sometimes take a few extra days to fully account for shifts in the race. So in circumstances like these, it can sometimes be useful to look at the FiveThirtyEight now-cast, which incorporates new polls very quickly at the cost of potentially picking up on noise and overshooting the mark. In fact, Clinton’s lead also continued to rise in the now-cast over the course of the week (although it shifted very slightly downward on Friday itself), and her popular-vote lead in the now-cast (6.1 percentage points) remains larger than in the polls-only model (5.3 percentage points). So if there’s been any reversal back toward Trump, it hasn’t really shown up in the polls yet, at least not on a consistent basis.

Good to know that it was a serious, methodologically-sound poll.

Ur Math Korrected I am backdating the numbers to Oct 8 as old out of date numbers for Legal safe harbor reasons
I expect the numbers to be somewhat different over the next few days
ALSO THIS IS NOT Nate Silvers numbers - A small unknown firm in Ireland n UK and more like a Prediction Market than Betting Parlor with just a few millllions of dollars behind them
