Poll: Will you stay up to watch tonight's US presidential debate?

The action goes on till 3.30am. Will you be sticking with it?

ONE DOWN, TWO to go.

Hillary Clinton, most commentators agree, won the first presidential debate of the current US general election campaign hands down. Can Donald Trump – after his nightmare few days – do enough to win back floating voters, in the second set-piece event?

The action tonight moves to St Louis, Missouri. It will be a town hall style affair, meaning some of the questions will be posed by members of the audience.

And while the first debate had only one moderator, tonight’s has two: CNN’s Anderson Cooper and Martha Raddatz of ABC. The action gets under way at 2am Irish time, finishing up around 90 minutes later.

This evening we’re asking: Will you be staying up to watch?


Poll Results:

No (9769)
Yes, the whole thing (1192)
Yes, I'll watch for a bit (1160)
No interest/no opinion (852)
