    Forget the conspiracy theorists peddling their madcap lies from madcap sites like the one running on the Clinton cheated thread. The figures are in and the debate outcome has seen swings to Clinton including the battleground states.

    The conspiracy theorists will have to ramp up the lies because Hillary appears well on the way to the White House.

    "Clinton Leads in Key Battlegrounds; Seen As Big Debate Winner
    New Public Policy Polling surveys in Colorado, Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, conducted on behalf of VoteVets Action Fund, find Hillary Clinton leading in each state. Voters in all five states see Clinton as having been the runaway winner of Monday night’s debate, and they question Donald Trump’s temperament and preparedness for office.

    Clinton has solid leads in Colorado, Pennsylvania, and Virginia- states seen as important to her path to 270 electoral votes- and modest leads in Florida and North Carolina, where wins would be indicative of a dominant overall victory in the Electoral College. If these results hold up, Donald Trump has no path to victory:

    Colorado
    Clinton 46, Trump 40, Johnson 6, Stein 2
    Clinton 51, Trump 44
    Florida
    Clinton 45, Trump 43, Johnson 3, Stein 1
    Clinton 48, Trump 45
    North Carolina
    Clinton 44, Trump 42, Johnson 7
    Clinton 49, Trump 45
    Pennsylvania
    Clinton 45, Trump 39, Johnson 6, Stein 2
    Clinton 49, Trump 44
    Virginia
    Clinton 46, Trump 40, Johnson 7, Stein 1
    Clinton 49, Trump 43

    The debate Monday night is one of the things giving Clinton a big boost. In all of these states she’s seen as having won it by a wide margin:
    State
    Debate Winner
    Colorado
    Clinton 53, Trump 31
    Florida
    Clinton 52, Trump 35
    North Carolina
    Clinton 53, Trump 31
    Pennsylvania
    Clinton 51, Trump 32
    Virginia
    Clinton 54, Trump 30

    One area where Clinton particularly received a boost Monday night is with voters under 30. They overwhelmingly see Clinton as the winner and they’re starting to vote for her in larger numbers than they had before:


    Colorado
    Clinton 64, Trump 23
    Clinton 50, Trump 27, Johnson 15, Stein 2
    Clinton 62, Trump 34
    Florida
    Clinton 65, Trump 32
    Clinton 54, Trump 28, Johnson 4, Stein 4
    Clinton 63, Trump 35
    North Carolina
    Clinton 59, Trump 17
    Clinton 46, Trump 27, Johnson 19
    Clinton 56, Trump 32
    Pennsylvania
    Clinton 53, Trump 24
    Clinton 45, Trump 22, Johnson 11, Stein 4
    Clinton 57, Trump 35
    Virginia
    Clinton 53, Trump 24
    Clinton 44, Johnson 24, Trump 21, Stein 2
    Clinton 50, Trump 24

    Clinton has at least a 19 point lead with young voters in the full field in each state, leads of 24-28 points in a head to head match up with Trump, and is seen as the debate winner by 29-42 points with young voters in this set of states.

    Monday night’s debate created large contrasts in voters’ minds when it comes to whether each candidate is prepared to be President, has the temperament to be President, and can be trusted with nuclear weapons. On all three of those tests Donald Trump fails miserably:

    Only 34-40% of voters in these key states thinks Trump is prepared to be President, only 35-40% think he has the temperament to be President, and only 38-40% think he can be trusted with nuclear weapons.
    Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, passes all three of these tests with voters in these states:
