Today we witness the first US Presidential Debate. Nothing really surprising really, with Trump spouting weird stuff as usual and Hillary trying to be the sane one in the debate.

But what puzzled me is the post-debate polls on who won the debate.

CNN posted that Hillary beat Trump 62% to 27% after they conducted the “Interviews with 521 registered voters who watched the presidential debate conducted by telephone (landline and cell) by ORC International on September 26, 2016. ”

Now the problem is, on virtually every poll I can find online, Trump beat Hillary.
