There’s a lot being made of CNN’s post-debate poll that found Hillary Clinton crushed Donald Trump in last night’s debate 62 percent to 27 percent:
Clinton's 35-point win in the CNN post-debate poll is the 3rd largest margin ever, after Romney-Obama I and Clinton-Bush 92 townhall.

Nate Silver writes that this should help Hillary Clinton in the overall race:
Clinton had 3rd-largest debate win ever in CNN's poll. Historically, that's predictive of gains in horse race polls. https://t.co/1rD5mqxHHl

But before Hillary Clinton starts measuring the drapes (her father was a drape maker in case you missed it the bajillion times she said it last night), she should ask President Kerry how important it is to win CNN’s post-debate poll:

Kerry swept all 3 debates and still lost? How is that possible!?
