Half a dozen news outlets skipped posting snap polls after the second 2016\u00a0presidential debate on Sunday \u2014 most likely because\u00a0Donald Trump touted his dominance of their polls after the first debate in September.<\/h2>\n

The first presidential debate was a tough one for Republican presidential candidate Trump, but he publicly declared victory by citing a slew of unscientific online polls\u00a0where respondents said he beat his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton. The Daily Mail<\/em> rounded up the results<\/a> of many of these snap polls, as well, with a headline blaring \u201cTrump won debate by a landslide.\u201d<\/p>\n
