A focus group conducted by Republican pollster Frank Luntz consistently agreed that Donald Trump delivered better answers on a host of issues during Sunday's presidential debate and outperformed his Democratic opponent overall.
...
When participants were asked to choose who had delivered a better performance halfway through the 90-minute debate, 17 of the voters chose Trump while only four chose Clinton.
...
Trump's highest moment during the first half the debate was when he vowed to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Clinton if he is elected president, and told the former secretary of state she should be "ashamed of herself" for misleading the American public on the email issue.
"I think what you should be apologizing for are the 33,000 emails that you deleted and that you acid-washed and then the two boxes of emails and other things that were taken from an office ... and now are missing," Trump had said to Clinton.
Voters were impressed by Trump's responses when the billionaire was asked about Obamacare and they felt his apology for the lewd language he used in leaked audio tapes from 2005 was sincere. More participants were concerned with Clinton's email practices than they were with the audio tapes that have caused numerous Republican lawmakers to rescind their endorsement of Trump.

If a Presidential pardon is viewed as having the same impact, I'd be on the Congressional floor every stinkin' DAY .... The President is not God !
Even with a Presidential pardon, the beast can't help herself ... she MUST commit crime ... it's what criminals do !
Notwithstanding the positive outcome of this particular focus group, Luntz is sort of the Dick Morris of pollsters — be wary of his conclusions being the opposite of reality. Another fat guy who loves attention.
How can Obama pardon someone who hasn’t been indicted, let alone convicted? When Trump enters the Oval, zer0 will be gone. Special Prosecutor investigations take time.
” More participants were concerned with Clinton’s email practices than they were with the audio tapes that have caused numerous Republican lawmakers to rescind their endorsement of Trump.”
RINOs are going to have to eat crow again. I hope Trump ‘rewards’ them when he wins. They need to leave the GOP.
“poll got hijacked by a machine or something it was giving Hillary 3000 votes every 3 minutes.”
Just a sample of what we’ll be seeing on November 8. They’re giving us a heads-up of what they’re able to do when it comes to technology and manipulating data.
Easy answer to the Dems.
WHERE are Trumps supposed victims? We SAW Bill Clinton’s victims last night.
“RINOs are going to have to eat crow again.”
They never eat crow. They do enjoy sniffing each other’s RINO plop.
“Trump wont need to appoint a Special Prosecutor if he wins. Obama will Pardon her.”
Messy. How can Obama pardon the bitch for something she (allegedly) hasn’t done? There’s nothing to pardon. A retroactive pardon? If so, then it’s an admittance that she’s a criminal.
By the time Trump is in office when she can be investigated and convicted, Obama’s powers of pardon will be nonexistent.
Obama has no choice now.
actually that is the question for Obama.
will reporters have the guts to ask if he will pardon?
Yup. He covered a lot of territory and said things that people have been afraid to say.
I wish he could’ve been stronger when he said that Hillary laughed about Kathy being raped — but he was running out of time and, IIRC, the Hillary-complicit moderators were cutting him off.
This is very surprising because he usually handpicks panelists that are more to the left.
“Im just waiting for their next attack. They never give up.”
There were people alluding to the fact that there may be more tapes of DJT still to come.
Trump campaign needs to spend a bazillion dollars in the next three weeks putting out pithy, easy-to-understand ads focusing on the evilness of Hillary, including recordings. The trouble is that there’s so much material, where do they even start?
I agree with you about Luntz. A lot of times his “independent & Undecided” voters spew the lines from the campaigns.
It’s not beneath political operatives to lie and say they are undecided.
Didn’t Ford pardon Nixon? Same arguments back then.
Sadly, I believe they will be trotting Trump “victims” out. Liberal women will lie to help Hillary into the White House.
Yes Obama will Pardon her I’ve said that forever. And not just her many many more!
The mean sentiment graphs posted by Luntz are pretty interesting, regardless of how his focus group might be stacked.
But, I'm not sure you know: this time, Luntz's group went "bigly" for Trump: like 21 to 8.
Ford. Nixon. You can look up the rest.
Ford. Nixon. You can look up the rest.
Yeah; I remember it well.
