This R&D provides resources on the outcome of the 2016 presidential election.  Real estate mogul Donald Trump shocked the world on Wednesday morning, capturing Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and winning the White House over Democratic challenger Hillary Clinton.  Polls showed that Clinton had the edge going into election day, but Trump’s message resonated in the Rust Belt and Clinton was unable to replicate President Barack Obama’s 2008 and 2012 voting coalitions.  However, Democrats appear to have won the popular vote for the fourth time in the last five presidential elections (although they have only won two of them due to the Electoral College).

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.
