More than 80 million people tuned in to see Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump go toe to toe in their first Presidential debate.  A record high number of people watched as things quickly got personal during Monday night’s Presidential debate at New York’s Hofstra University. 

“We had a great, great time last night,” Clinton said Tuesday morning.

Trump also celebrated success, a post from Trump’s Twitter account read, “Such a great honor. Final debate polls are in – and the MOVEMENT wins.”

Out Tuesday, a CNN/ORC Poll deemed Clinton the winner of the highly anticipated debate by 62% of voters who watched, while 27% said they thought Trump had the better night Monday.

A Fox News online poll had Trump winning with 50% of respondents, Clinton at 35% and the other 15% said they thought no one won the debate.  

A CNBC poll also had Trump as the winner with 68% of the online vote to Clinton’s 32%. At the time of this post roughly 1.1 million people voted in the online poll.

The two candidates clashed within the first 20 minutes, as both targeted their attacks on the other’s weaknesses.

Texas political consultant David Butts said Trump came out strong with talk on trade and the economy.

“He was pretty good for the first 20 minutes, on his message and I thought he actually did a little better than Hillary,” Butts said.

The Republican Presidential nominee even offered up a trade to Clinton—his tax returns for her deleted emails.

Trump said, “I will release my tax returns against my lawyer’s wishes when she releases her 33,000 emails that have been deleted. As soon as she releases them, I will release … I will release my tax returns.”

Clinton fired back, “I think you’ve just seen another example of bait and switch here. For 40 years, everyone running for president has released their tax returns.”

Clinton poked Trump throughout the debate, Butts said that aggressive strategy aimed to get a reaction out of Trump and he “took the bait.”

Butts said, “And then the old trump emerged and that was not good, he would have failed debate 101 if he had been taking a course.”

By the end of the debate Butts said he thought Clinton appeared more prepared, poised and “more presidential.”

The Director of the Texas Politics Project, Jim Henson is “always reluctant” to name a winner or a loser but said, “I think Hillary Clinton probably did better in terms of what she was after and what she needed to achieve.” 

Henson said neither candidate said or did anything to hurt their standing among current supporters. 

“On the downside for Trump, he probably didn’t make any gains in the areas he needs to make gains,” Henson listed African American, Hispanic, women and college educated voters. 

“He [Trump] didn’t say anything that was certainly going to expand his appeal to those groups and he probably lost a little ground with them, so not the greatest night for Donald Trump but certainly not a disaster,” said Henson. 

While these two political analysts believe Clinton had the better night, this election season has already proven many consultants wrong and despite their consensus, the voters have the final say. 

Most national polls show Clinton and Trump in a dead heat nationwide and in swing states. 

Texas Democratic Party Chair Gilberto Hinojosa wrote in a statement, “Donald Trump’s disconnected reality made no sense to Texas families who are looking for someone they can trust with their economy, the nation’s nuclear codes, and their very futures.”

The Republican Party of Texas did not respond to a request for comment Tuesday.

NBC News’ Lester Holt served as the moderator of the 90-minute debate, which was broken up into three categories–America’s direction, achieving prosperity and securing America. 

Trump and Clinton will face off again this Sunday, Oct. 9 at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. The third and final Presidential debate will be held in Las Vegas on Wednesday, Oct. 19—less than three weeks before Election Day.
