Post-Debate: Ohio, Who Do You Think Won? Poll

Now that the historic first debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton is over, who do you think won?

HEMPSTEAD, NEW YORK - The first presidential debate is over. With more than 100 million Americans tuning in to see Hillary Clinton debate Donald Trump, we want to know who do you think won?

Debate night began with a dicey moment — when a suspicious package was identified, leading police to clear an area near the Axinn Library on the Hofstra campus.

The rush of political activity will continue in Ohio this week with the Clinton campaign sending former President Bill Clinton to Toledo on Tuesday. Clinton will be appearing at Waite High School from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. Since Sept. 27 is National Voter Registration Day, expect him to urge unregistered voters to get registered and for registered voters to get their friends registered.

Then on Wednesday, Donald Trump's running-mate Governor Mike Pence will appear at Leetonia High School. That event will start at 6 p.m., but gates will open at 3:30 p.m.
