Can Clinton, Trump Win over Undecided Voters? A Look at Their Latest Attacks

Share This article

In the aftermath of the most watched debate in U.S. history, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are visiting key battleground states and launching fresh attacks against each other.

In North Carolina on Tuesday, Clinton acted like a candidate taking a victory lap, asking supporters, "Did anybody see that debate last night? (Trump) made it very clear that he didn't prepare for that debate."

Early scientific polls indicated Clinton was the winner, but Trump claimed victory too, citing online polls that favored him.

"Almost every single poll had us winning the debate against crooked Hillary Clinton, big league," the GOP nominee said.

But Trump also complained about a faulty microphone and unfair questions from the moderator, Lester Holt of NBC News.

Meanwhile, some of Trump's supporters on social media complained that he didn't go for the jugular against a scandal-plagued Clinton.

Back on the campaign trail, both candidates hit each other hard on the economy, foreign policy, and their experience to be president.

Clinton threw the first jabs, slamming Trump for appearing to celebrate the housing crisis, asking supporters, "What kind of person would want to root for 9 million families losing their homes?"

Trump fired back at a rally in Melbourne, Florida, saying of Clinton, "She traveled all over the world and you know what it got us? Nothing."

But Trump got something from the debate -- a lucrative bounce. He told supporters Tuesday that his campaign had raised nearly $18 million since Monday night's face-off against Clinton.

It's still hard to say if the debate will help Clinton longer-term in the polls, especially after more than a few days of mudslinging on the campaign trail.

The scandal surrounding Clinton's emails still isn't over, and there are two more debates to go.

With six weeks left until the election, there's still plenty of time for both candidates to win over undecided voters.
