'Hold your breath' watching Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump argue

On September 26, former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and billionaire Donald Trump will enter their first live televised debate.

According toReuters, the number of viewers watching this televised debate is expected to reach a record when the two candidates "face to face". Nearly 80% of American voters said they will watch this heated debate.

According to the latest poll conducted by the Washington Post and ABC News, both candidates are receiving equal support at 41%. However, another survey shows that Mrs. Clinton has an advantage over Mr. Trump by 2 percentage points (Mrs. Clinton 46% and Mr. Trump 44%).

The survey also shows that Mrs. Clinton's chance of winning in the 90-minute battle of wits will be 44%, much higher than billionaire Trump's 34%.

Clinton's campaign manager, Ohn Podesta, believes the 69-year-old former Secretary of State will succeed: "I think the policies that Mrs. Clinton builds will improve the US economy, helping to create a dynamic economy for the benefit of everyone, not just the wealthy class.

However, Mrs. Clinton will face a big challenge when facing Mr. Trump's provocative words. Hopefully, this time Mrs. Clinton will not let Mr. Trump show what he has done in that way again.'

Meanwhile, Billionaire Trump's campaign is also optimistic about recent changes when a large number of American voters turned to support Billionaire Trump such as in the states of Florida, Ohio, Virginia and Pennsylvania.

Observers say this will be a political spectacle of great scale and drama. This year’s record viewership is due to both the high stakes and the entertaining nature of the showdown.

After this debate, Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Trump will have two more face-to-face battles on October 9 and 19. Meanwhile, the two vice presidential candidates will have only one direct debate on October 4.
