The true question after Monday's event is how the nominees' debate performances will play in the polls. Both candidates were trying to impress not only voters within their parties but also independents and third-party voters.
The stakes were high because the race is close: Before Monday night, Clinton was leading by about two percentage points. Clinton was polling at about 46.6 percent nationwide to Trump's 44.3 percent, according to RealClearPolitics.
Next on the debate schedule is a vice presidential matchup with Trump's running mate, Mike Pence, and Clinton's veep pick, Tim Kaine. The two men will face off Oct. 4 at Longwood University in Farmville, Virginia. Afterward, Clinton and Trump will join up again for debates on Oct. 9 at Washington University in St. Louis and Oct. 19 at the University of Nevada in Las Vegas. Election Day is Nov. 8.
