Clinton Gets Post-Debate Bump

A new CNN/ORC poll finds Hillary Clinton leading Donald Trump by five points in the presidential race nationally, 47% to 42%, with Gary Johnson at 7% and Jill Stein at 2%.

Key finding: “Clinton’s boost in the race stems largely from gains on Trump among men (from a 22-point deficit with that group in early September to just a 5-point one now) and sharply increased support from independents, who broke heavily in Trump’s favor in the early September poll but now tilt Clinton, 44% to 37%.”
