Trump has taken a 3 point lead in the first poll released after the final Presidential debate on Wednesday.
The Rasmussen poll released this morning revealed Trump with a 43 to 40 lead against rival Hillary Clinton. The same poll had Trump trailing by 5 points (Clinton 44 / Trump 39) just 10 days ago, which amounts to an 8 point swing in 10 days.

Rasmussen reported:
It’s too early to measure the impact of last night’s final presidential debate, but Republican Donald Trump now has a three-point lead nationally on Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online White House Watch survey finds Trump with 43% support among Likely U.S. Voters to Clinton’s 40%. Six percent (6%) still prefer Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson, and three percent (3%) favor Green Party nominee Jill Stein. Another three percent (3%) like some other candidate, and six percent (6%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Clinton and Trump were tied yesterday at 42% apiece. Clinton held a seven-point lead at the beginning of last week just after the airing of an 11-year old video showing Trump making graphic sexual remarks, but she began losing ground after the second presidential debate. The lead has been shifting back and forth since late last week.
