US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is still faring better than her rival in the eyes of the British public, new findings from Ipsos’s Political Monitor show.

Ipsos presented at the Embassy of the United States of America, in Paris, the climate of opinion before the presidential elections in France and in the US.

Three weeks out from election day the Reuters/Ipsos poll finds Clinton’s bump from the last week or so receding just in time for the third debate. The effects of Trump’s “hot mike” incident and second debate performance appear to have subsided somewhat, and the election has reverted back to pre-debate levels.

Donald Trump’s rough performance over the last few weeks has helped Hillary Clinton move into a winning position. Clinton now leads in enough states to win the electoral college outright, even without the remaining tossup states.
