Скачать или смотреть Second presidential debate canceled, third debate still likely

The second presidential debate was canceled Friday night by the nonpartisan Commission on Presidential Debates.

That is one less opportunity for the two candidates to reach tens of millions of voters. Potentially bad news, for President Donald Trump.

If the election were held now, the Pew Research Center found that 52-percent of voters would support Biden, and 42-percent would support Trump.

That's out of a pool of 11,929 U.S. adults, including 10, 543 who are registered voters.

“Well, certainly the second debate being canceled hurts Donald Trump more than it does Joe Biden," said political analyst Dr. Lars Hafner. "Each debate garners about a rating of 70 to 80 million individuals watching the debate. And because that one is now precluded, they really do need to debate in the third one if Donald Trump's going to ever play to that large of an audience again.”

With the second debate off the table, the Trump campaign is focusing heavily on Florida.
