NBC -WSJ Poll HRC 49% (+7) SBS 29% (-6) JB 15% (-2)

Those results are from the pre and post debate WSJ-NBC polls and reflect a thirteen point bounce for Hillary Clinton.



P.S. As I have been saying, ad nauseum and ad infinitum , we are blessed to have such stellar candidates who continue to provide a stark contrast with their Republican opponents.

1. Good news, though really, the last WSJ/NBC poll was a big outlier in Bernie's direction,

so a lot of the Hillary swing here is simply reversion to the mean rather than a post-debate bump.

Still, it's a good poll for Hillary, and along with the other post-debate polls coming out, it shows that she still has a commanding lead. She probably got a small benefit from the debate, but more important, all the predictions that Bernie would surge into the lead after the first debate have been proven completely false.

Looking good so far. Next comes the Biden decision, we'll see what happens there.

I am reminded of the old saw about a person's "reach being exceeding their grasp."

Most were either in the draw category or clear HRC wins. Paying attention helps. Debates were never going to be his salvation.

All Americans would unite behind him.

Guess not.
