Clinton 'wins' first presidential debate
Ex secretary of state garnered most preferences, media say
(ANSA) - Rome, September 27 - Democratic presidential
candidate Hillary Clinton won over her Republican rival Donald
Trump in the first presidential television debate, according to
several media surveys conducted after the Monday evening
broadcast.
CNN said Clinton won with 62% of preferences compared to
27% of preferences won by Trump.
The former secretary of state and ex First Lady and the
New York property tycoon battled it out for 90 minutes over the
economy, foreign policy, race and immigration, among other
issues.
The candidates to replace Barack Obama in January engaged
in a series of occasionally raw clashes, although the tone was
not over the top.
Two more TV debates are scheduled for October 9 and 19,
before elections on November 8.
