Early last week, [The New York Times](http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/02/us/politics/donald-trump-taxes.html) published pages from Trump's 1995 tax return that showed he could have avoided paying federal income taxes for nearly two decades. And then on Friday, [The Washington Post](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-recorded-having-extremely-lewd-conversation-about-women-in-2005/2016/10/07/3b9ce776-8cb4-11e6-bf8a-3d26847eeed4_story.html) published a recording of the Republican presidential nominee in which he described sexually assaulting women to Hollywood Access' current host Billy Bush sexual assault to then-host of Hollywood Access, Billy Bush. Many leaders in the Republican party [rescinded their support](https://time.com/4524209/donald-trump-tapes-republican-critics/) following [Trump's apology](https://money.com/donald-trump-career-advice-apologies/); and Clinton, during the debate, said that "it’s just awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in our country." Trump challenged Clinton by attacking her 30-year record, saying that "she's all talk" and that "nothing is going to get done." Now, we want to hear from you.

They are better seen as a measure of which candidates have most energized online supporters. ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "@id": "https://money.com/second-presidential-debate-vote-poll/#breadcrumb", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://money.com" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "Economy and Politics", "item": "https://money.com/economy-and-politics/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "name": "Polls and Surveys", "item": "https://money.com/polls-and-surveys/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "name": "Vote Now: Which Presidential Candidate is Better for Your Money?" } ] }, { "@type": "WebSite", "@id": "https://money.com/#website", "url": "https://money.com", "name": "Money", "publisher": { "@id": "https://money.com/#organization" } }, { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://money.com/second-presidential-debate-vote-poll/#webpage", "url": "https://money.com/second-presidential-debate-vote-poll/", "name": "Vote Now: Which Presidential Candidate is Better for Your Money?", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://money.com/#website" }, "datePublished": "2016-10-10T02:36:58.000Z", "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://money.com/second-presidential-debate-vote-poll/" }, "inLanguage": "en-US", "breadcrumb": { "@id": "https://money.com/second-presidential-debate-vote-poll/#breadcrumb" }, "dateModified": "2024-04-17T04:05:23.000Z" }, { "@type": "Article", "headline": "Vote Now: Which Presidential Candidate is Better for Your Money?", "articleSection": "Economy and Politics", "image": [ { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://img.money.com/2016/10/161009_debate_poll.jpg?quality=85", "width": 2100, "height": 1400 } ], "author": [ { "@type": "Person", "name": "Money", "url": "https://money.com/author/money-staff/", "@id": "https://money.com/author/money-staff/#author", "sameAs": [ "https://x.com/money" ] } ], "publisher": "https://money.com/#organization", "datePublished": "2016-10-10T02:36:58.000Z", "description": "Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton faced off Sunday night at the second presidential debate at Washington University in St. Louis.", "abstract": "Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton faced off Sunday night at the second presidential debate at Washington University in St. Louis.", "@id": "https://money.com/second-presidential-debate-vote-poll/", "inLanguage": "en-US", "dateModified": "2024-04-17T04:05:23.000Z", "wordCount": 235, "keywords": [ "Election 2016" ], "about": [ { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Political economy", "sameAs": [ "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_economy" ] }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Opinion poll", "sameAs": [ "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_poll" ] } ] } ] } ```
