Actually it better for Trump than 48-43

That was the result from the 95% who did NOT change their mind from the debate.

Of the remaining 5% who DID change their mind, those went 2 to 1 for Trump,

3.2% to 1.6%

So the combined result was ...
51.2% will vote Trump in November,
44.6% will vote Clinton in November.

Awesome. Great result. Nowhere to go but improve from there either. as the debate is discussed, his performance will look better in hindsight; and he'll do better in future debates - plus all his campaigning. Plus teevee ads starting up.

So phrased another way,
BEFORE the debate,this sample of 890 REGISTERED voters believed they would vote...

49.6% had planned to vote Trump in November,
46.2% had planned to vote Clinton in November.
+3.4% Advantage Trump

<>AFTER the debate, the same group of 890 registered voters...
51.2% will now vote Trump in November,
44.6% will now vote Clinton in November.
+6.6% Advantage Trump.

In addition, the party affiliation was 38D/33R/29I when it’s likely turnout will probably be closer to neutral on D vs R this time (maybe D+2)
