North Texas Voters React to First Presidential Debate

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump met Monday for the first of three presidential debates, and NBC 5 is hearing the opinions of voters in North Texas.

We invited a panel of nine North Texans with different backgrounds and experiences to watch the debate at our studios and share their reactions to the debate and what each of the candidates said.

NBC 5 went to Dallas’ Dealey Plaza and asked voters, “Is the country on the right track?”

The debate covered three big topics: securing America, America's direction and achieving prosperity.

One of the topics at Monday’s presidential debate was national security, including border security, cyber security and personal privacy.

Many of the voters on the panel said they did not hear the answers they wanted from this debate, and they will be looking to the upcoming debates to help decide their choice for president.

As the presidential candidates debate on how best to help millions of Americans achieve prosperity, there are lessons to be learned in North Texas.
