Clinton, Trump Neck And Neck Heading Into First Debate

WASHINGTON, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News -26th Sep,2016) - Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump prepared to square off Monday in their first presidential debate -- a keenly awaited clash that comes as they sit nearly neck and neck in the polls.
The debate, which is expected to be watched by tens of millions of Americans, could draw a record number of viewers when it kicks off at 9:00 pm (0100 GMT Tuesday). Many Americans are uncertain what to expect from the clash, which pits two vastly different candidates against each other on one tiny stage.
Clinton, 68, enters the fray as a polished former secretary of state and ex-senator, who after almost 40 years of public service is well versed on the issues.
Trump, a 70-year-old billionaire and former reality tv star, is good on his feet, and unpredictable -- more comfortable in the limelight than on issues.
As many as 90 million people are expected to tune in as the pair face off at Hofstra University in New York six weeks before the November 8 election. The debate is being held one day after a Washington Post-ABC news poll revealed that Clinton's slim advantage over Trump from last month has evaporated.
