My predictions:

1. Lincoln Chafee will prove to be an eccentric kook. That much is already expected.

2. Jim Webb will start to gain some traction with undecided moderate Democrats and possibly some nervous Hillary fans.

3. O'Malley will see the largest boost. He kind of splits the difference between the unelectable Sanders and vulnerable Clinton policy wise, so if he plays his cards right, he could do very well.

4. After the debate, Clinton and Sanders will still be leading in the polls, albeit with slightly lower numbers that will be dispersed to Webb and O'Malley.

I think after this Democratic debate, Trump will get the biggest bump.

I would say all of the Republicans will get a bump after the Dems debate. I just hope Hillary wins the Dem nomination....she currently loses the matchup to all Republican candidates.

Not true. She doesn't lose against Trump

That's how bad Dumbo Trumpo is. People would rather vote for Hillary

The more people see Hillary the more they dislike her.. the freebee lovers will love Sanders.. it will be who can give away more to get a vote.. the one who gives away more will get the biggest bump.

I agree. Trump can steal thunder from Thor. The live tweeting during the Democrat debate is genius.

"Despite a full-on, five-day promotional rehabilitation campaign for Hillary Clinton courtesy of NBC News; despite all of the media piling on Ben Carson The Scary Black Man Who Preaches Self-Reliance; despite the media’s ongoing hate campaign to paint Donald Trump as a racist, a new Fox News poll shows that both men are handily beating Ms. Clinton. In fact, despite the media’s ongoing campaign to tar the Republican Party as a whole as extreme and incompetent, every Republican candidate polled beats Ms. Clinton. In a head-to-head match-up Carly Fiorina beats Hillary 42% – 39%; Jeb Bush wins by 44% to 40%; and Donald Trump is up +5%, 45% to 40%. The best news is for Dr. Ben Carson, who wallops Hillary by +11%, 50% to 39%." October 13, 2015

The Republican piece of this poll is being held for a later date presumably not to take the attention off the Dems on their debate night

I agree with both^^^. That was my immediate thought when I read the thread title and was disappointed not to see a choice for Trump and maybe Carson who are both doing well.

It is past time for Hillary to be put out to pasture. I can imagine though that without politics that she has a very empty life. It is sad that they cheated her out of the nomination in 2008. I believe she has worked very hard for the party and that they did owe her that.

Sanders will gain as people watch and realize they agree with most of what he is saying. Clinton benefits because the focus will be back on issues and not politically motivated "scandals" (hopefully). The rest simply don't matter.

Yes. And Cain was going to beat Obama in Oct of 2011. Meaningless. It is best to look at polls only in the primary context and even that it pretty much a waste of time at this point.
