Here are the links to watch during the upcoming Presidential debates. Lots of interesting stuff to watch online during the debates, as you research the candidates. I am not providing a link to Facebook Signal access, since it is based on each person being gratned access. I use Facebook Signal as a barometer to watch conversation trends.

Here are the links, or online resources I watch during the 2016 Presidential Debates:

FiveThirtyEight.com Blog (Run by Nate Silver who predicted the last two elections.)
BTW, the name FiveThirtyEight.com (538) comes from the number of electors in the electoral college. This link is the real time blog during the debate, all data driven information.

For your information, why do I watch Facebook and Google Trends during a debate:
Google Trends indicate what people are searching for in real time
Facebook data shows how people take the information they search for on Google and turn it into conversations on Facebook.
