MaltaToday online readers believe Clinton will beat Trump

Online poll shows Clinton is the clear favourite among online readers to become the next president of the US

A large majority of MaltaToday online readers believe that Hillary Clinton will win Tuesday’s presidential election to become the 45th president of the United States and the first woman president.

A poll run on this site between on Monday and Tuesday showed that 60.45% of participants believed Clinton, the Democrat candidate, would win the election with only 19.92% backing Republican candidate Donald Trump.

15.01% of respondents said they did not care who won the election and 4.63% said they did not know who would win.

The poll is in line with major US polls which showed Clinton in the lead by anywhere from 1.3 to 4 points as voting stations opened on Tuesday.

The last Reuters poll gave Clinton a 90% chance of winning the election.

Malta was ranked number 1 out of the 28 EU member states for search interest in the 2016 US presidential election, with an indexed search interest of 100 out of 100.
