After the first Presidential debate on 9/26, no dramatic changes have occurred - Mrs.Clinton is still winning in most states. If we look at the Battleground states, Mr.Trums is doing better than Mrs.Clinton in Ohio, Iowa and Arizona.
Virginia has increased it's support for Mrs.Clinton. As polls show, the week before the debate, Mrs. Clinton was 3.5% ahead of Mr.Trump in Virginia. Almost one week after the first debate, Mrs. Clinton is 8.2% ahead, so she has gained 4.7% support in Virginia.
The graphic below shows how the support for the candidates has changed between 9/19 and 10/3.

Over the week, a new concern about the election has been increasing in Virginia and that is fraud voting. According to the Virginia Voters Alliance, 1046 undocumented illegal immigrants voted in the 2012 Presidential Election in just one of Virginia's localities.
The Democratic Governor of Virginia, Terry McAuliffe, has addressed the concerns and said that Conservative Groups and Politicians are just "trying to create doubt about the election results."
The commissioner of the Virginia Department of Elections has also come out and stated that these concerns lack a basis and are "nonsense."

Today, Tuesday the 4th of October, is a big day for a the little town of Longwood, Virginia as the Longwood University prepares for the only 90 debate between the two Vice Presidential Candidates, Democrate Senator Tim Kaine and Republican Governor Mike Pence. The debate has taken a lot of time and effort by the University community. An 8 foot fence has been constructed around the central campus area for security purposes, the tennis and basketball courts have been taken over by news media trailers, and all of the students in a 10 floor residence hall have been relocated until after the event. Despite the difficulties of preparing for this event, much of the community is excited about what this debate could do for the reputation of the university.
