This R&D provides resources on the fallout from the first presidential debate.  Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump clashed on Monday evening.  Observers argued that Clinton won the debate by being on the offensive more against Trump, although some argued that the debate was really a draw.  Polls are still being assembled to illustrate if either candidate will pull away after the debate, but there are some indications that Clinton may have stopped some of her slide in the polls in the lead up to Monday night.
