They're online surveys -- a lot of them from conservative rag sites -- and there's no limit to how many times a visitor can vote.

The only scientific post debate poll was done by CNN and Clinton overwhelmingly won the debate.

The problem with Donald Trump's 'we won every poll' claim - Sep. 27, 2016

Donald Trump won the debate â?¦ according to useless website polls that mean nothing - Vox

I had about six different conversations in the gym yesterday concerning the debate. All of them said Hillary had Trump on the ropes for most of the debate and obviously won.
Online polls in such cases aren't honest. When you say "online poll" does mean people from Russia and China are voting?

One of the polls seemed to be completely fake....

At least one of the polls appeared to be an outright fake: The Drudge Report and a number of Trump supporters linked to a supposed ABC poll showing that Trump won 54% of the vote and Clinton just 10%, but the poll was hosted by a site that mimicked ABC?s website.

Trump's Victory In Post-Debate Polls Shouldn't Be Trusted

You can also have supporters from one side encouraging other supporters to flood polls, skewing the results - meaning if Trump supporters all hit the same polls you'll have the majority of them saying Trump won just because they back Trump.

I don't go hunting out political news articles but... what I see in my news feed all I see is Clinton won and Trump did very poorly.
