Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton
Hillary Clinton won the final presidential debate, topping Donald
Trump by a 13-point margin according to a CNN/ORC poll of debate
watchers, giving Clinton a clean sweep across all three of this year's
presidential debates.
But Wednesday's debate watchers were closely divided on which candidate they trusted more on the issues most important to them.
Overall, 52% who watched tonight's matchup thought Clinton did the best job, to the 39% that thought Trump did. That's a tighter margin than in the first two debates. After the first debate, 62% of those who watched said Clinton won, 27% Trump, followed by a 57% Clinton to 34% Trump margin for the town hall debate held October 9.

After the first debate, 62% of those who watched said Clinton won, 27% Trump, followed by a 57% Clinton to 34% Trump margin for the town hall debate held October 9.
Half of voters (50%) who watched Wednesday's debate said Clinton agreed
with them more on the important issues, while 47% thought Trump did, but
by wide margins, they thought Clinton had the better understanding of
the issues, 61% to 31%, and was better prepared to handle the
presidency, 59% to 35%.
Still, most said their minds weren't changed by tonight's debate, 54% of
those who watched said it would have no effect on their vote, and those
who did feel swayed were about evenly split between Trump (23%) and
Clinton (22%).
Voters who watched were divided on who would better handle the
economy (50% said Clinton, 48% Trump), immigration (50% Trump to 48%
Clinton), or nominations to the Supreme Court (49% said Trump, 48%
Clinton). Clinton held a narrow edge on handling the federal budget (50%
to 46%) while she held a wide advantage as better able to handle
foreign policy (55% to 41%).
Trump was again seen as spending more time on the attack, by a 60% to
23% margin, and more said his attacks were unfair (43%) than said so of
Clinton's jabs at Trump (34%). Even among Republicans, 41% said they
considered Clinton's attacks on Trump's fair, but Democrats were not
nearly as accepting of Trump's attacks on their nominee (19% said his
attacks against Clinton were fair).
Watchers were split on who was more sincere and authentic during the
debate, with 47% saying Trump was and 46% seeing Clinton that way.
Clinton had a clear edge on this question after the first debate, 53% to
40%.
