Back in the real world.... Trump was trounced. Poll your polls if they help you sleep at night. The fact remains that he failed miserably.

^One mans opinion here. For everyone who says he failed miserably, I bet you can find others (in the real world as you say there) who say otherwise.

And I seriously doubt anyone sit there for hours and hours clicking hundreds of thousands of times in the same poll and then went to the next website and did the same thing. Remember, the debate was over at 10:30 CST. So if someone manually did this, then you may as well call them Flash (the super hero)

I don't have to listen to any of the media outlets, because I watched the debate. Donald crashed and burned. But it was funny to watch his real (Joe Pesci, My Cousin Vinny) personality come out.
You could also see that Hillary and Donald have a very old friendship and that they've spared over appetizers before! LOL
This was just the first debate.

You are seriously missing something if you think these systems aren't easily hacked.
There is no news coverage, because there is NOTHING there HIDDEN to FIND. It's EASILY hacked, as in, there would be NO PROOF, because it's part of it's default-faulty code.
It WOULD NOT be News, as these Company's hold these Polls as little more than WATERCOOLER conversation. They do not care if it's accurate, they are not an election committee, and none of them seriously would even consider their polls being compromised meaning ANYTHING. They do it for publicity and traffic alone.
Donald Trump supporters artificially manipulated the results of online polls to create a false narrative that the Republican nominee won the first presidential debate on Monday night.
The efforts originated from users of the pro-Trump Reddit community r/The_Donald and 4chan messaged boards, which bombarded around 70 polls, including those launched by Time, Fortune, and CNBC.

You are correct, but how many of those opinions are based on the actual performance of the people on stage, or is skewed by their political partisanship?
Based on their performance, Trump lost badly.

The specific polls cited by the OP are also cited in this article about Reddit and 4chan users manipulating the polls to favor Trump. This is what "rigged" looks like.

Sorry OP, but like the others in this thread have been saying... Hillary won big last night.

And how many people hate Hillary enough to not care how Trump did? Something else to consider ~

I'm now certain based on the conversation direction you just don't understand computers.
You're confusing 'needing to hack' with 'not needing to hack'.
What part of it's their own default system don't you understand?
Yes it's susceptible, do they care? No. Why? It's a gag.
Facing the truth that most polls are incorrect is just a truth to face.
