I'm sure many of you watched the 'Presidential Debate' on Tuesday evening. No matter how you feel about what's going on, the single most important issue for the health of the global economy is the outcome of the US Presidential election. Here's where we're at:
Election Day: We're just over a month away from Election Day on November 3rd.
National Polls: The Real Clear Politics average of national polls has Vice President Biden leading by 6.5% ahead of President Trump.
Battlegrounds: Battleground states are where the election will be won or lost. In these states, the election is much closer.
Polls give Biden a slight edge but the shift of a few hundred thousand votes could swing the election in either direction. In the critical state of Florida, Biden only has a 2 point advantage over Trump.
The Debate: And that debate... it's hard to see how either candidate won but voters disagree.
- Post-debate CNN poll found that 6 out of 10 debate viewers said Joe Biden won the debate.
- And a CBS poll also gave Biden the edge with 48 percent viewing him as the winner and 41 percent saying Trump prevailed.
Bottom line: With battleground states too close to call, it's still anyone's race.
