September 25, 2016 By Taegan Goddard
One-third of voters say the presidential debates will be very important in helping them decide who to support for president, with slightly more Republicans than Democrats saying so, a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll has found.
Some 34% of registered voters said the set of three presidential debates that start on Monday in New York would be extremely or quite important to their decision. Among Republicans, 37% said the debates would be important to them, while 31% of Democrats said the same.

Those voters are enlightened, far-sighted and they are having a deep political know-how who think that presidential debates will be very important in helping them decide who to support
The environment of the debate is tough when contestants sit close to one another, face the questionnaire in front of audience, are forced to respond within a given time.
The audience watchfully observe their performance taking a strict notice of their body language, selection of words for their expression, quickness and accuracy for understanding the questions, eye contact with the audience and confidence they display while handling the assignment.
I believe Hillary Clinton will successfully pass this test because:
AS the first lady she received numerous receptions where she addressed the huge gatherings.
As the senator she participated in heated discussions.
As the secretary of state she managed a hugely large ministry of foreign affairs, traveled those areas where she had danger to her life.
These experiences have equipped her to the teeth whereas her opponents fail to produce her equivalent or parallel.

ok NBC...................................COMCAST.
DO I NEED TO SAY MORE?................ok...when Comcast took over MSNBC..from previous owner, GE,,,,(I think)..Comcast changed the pricing policy on having MSNBC on cable..It elevated MSNBC..and it was then a progressive outlet, to a higher more costly tier..so friends of mine, who have cable...complained immediately that it would cost more per month to see their fav shows..They called Comcast to check it out, and Comcast had set up a system to handle the complaints coming from MSNBC users around the country that were going to pay more.................got that..................now
in some markets..Comcast also controlled FOX NEWS...guess what?
NO PRICE INCREASE FOR FOX NEWS SUBSCRIBERS,,,NOPE
Comcast wants people to think this, so it can get more to watch..bullshit.

I'd put it at 3.4% tops.
Debates are bullshit, and don't matter at all.
