The final debate has been held and it, once again, appears that Clinton has won after Trump collapsed and caused further controversy by claiming that he may not accept the result of the election. Moreover, the vast number of women, now ten, who have claimed to have been sexually assaulted by Trump has hit him very badly in both state and national polling. With less than three weeks to go, Clinton leads by roughly eight points over Trump, and even states like Alaska and Texas look in play – for the first time in many decades. Also, surprisingly, a third party candidate (Evan McMullin) could win a state for the first time since 1968 – with McMullin in pole position in Utah.
Below we’ll take a look at the polling and what the election result would be if it were held today…
