Clinton builds on gains after first debate
Washington (AFP) - Democratic White House hopeful Hillary Clinton has firmed up her lead over rival Donald Trump one week after their bruising first head-to-head debate, new polls released Monday showed.
Results from a nationwide poll by Politico and Morning Consult has Clinton surging, with 42 percent support from likely voters compared to 36 percent for Trump in a four-way race that includes two lesser-known candidates.
The result is a four-point climb for Clinton from the previous week's poll, conducted just before their showdown at Hofstra University in New York.
A CNN/ORC poll conducted after the debate and released Monday showed a similar bounce for the Democrat, who led Trump by five points, 47 percent to 42 percent among likely voters nationwide.
Her gains stemmed importantly from increases in support among men and from independent voters, who had broken sharply in Trump's favor until as recently as early September but were now backing Clinton, 44 percent to 37 percent.
A Fox poll released Friday showed Clinton with a five-point lead, 49 percent to 44 percent. But a Los Angeles Times daily tracking poll shows Trump ahead 47 to 42.4 percent.
