Internet Debate polls

So awkward....I've looked at several instant Internet polls in which HRC is losing badly, even those with tens of thousands votes.
I could post links but there is little point, it's every Internet poll you look at right now.

I am a little taken aback given how clearly Clinton won that debate, there is little doubt across news networks and focus groups.

Thoughts?

Just caught me off guard. I didn't see any doubt that Clinton won that debate and that trump appeared foolish. It was embarrassing for our country to have that idiot on the stage.
The Internet polls were just odd, I just don't see or hear that kind of support for him.

It just makes me think that the Russians, who are good at hacking things on the internet, maybe have a hand in boosting these polls for Trump.

Tinfoil hat in full effect.
