The Votes Are In!

After the debate Monday night many of the news sites released their own poll to see who the people thought won the debate. Interestingly enough many of the polls showed Donald Trump was in the lead by a decent margin. Yes these polls are just for fun, but they may still be quite important because it shows who the people favor. The Fox News poll has Trump winning 50% to Clinton's 35%. Its understandable to think the Fox News poll is slightly bias, because Fox tends to favor the Republicans. Also Time.com has Trump winning 52% to 48% after more than 1,300,000 votes were cast. This leads me to my question, do these polls mean anything to you? Or are they something you look at and don't think anything of? I personally think they are kind of important because like I said, they allow you to see what other people think.

It'll be interesting to see how the media sides with certain candidates after tonight's debate. I believe it was a fairly interesting debate that millions of people watched and it just showed us what we already knew. Hillary was going to attack Trump and Trump was going to return the favor. Trump was on his heels for a large portion of the debate, but he had a few zingers thrown in there. Depending on which news network you watch in the coming days, you will hear differing opinions on who won, and why. Fox News will probably tell us that Trump kept his cool and did what he had to do while CNN will tell us that Hillary was very presidential and showed the temperament that our commander in chief will need to display. You need to watch the debate to form your own opinion and mainly listen to the mass media's analysis for other's points of view; don't let them formulate your thoughts for you.
