HEMPSTEAD, 27 September (BelTA - Xinhua) - A CNN/ORC poll and experts at Hofstra University said Hillary Clinton was the winner of Monday night's presidential debate.
Shortly after the first face-off between the Democratic nominee and her Republican rival, Donald Trump, in the 2016 election cycle, the poll showed an "overwhelming victory" for Clinton, with 62 percent of Americans who watched the debate saying Clinton won, compared to 27 percent who said Trump won.
Experts in political science and rhetoric at Hofstra University expressed views similar to the results of the poll, which was jointly carried out by U.S. broadcaster CNN and market research firm ORC International.
