The chart that shows how many times Donald Trump interrupted Hillary Clinton

Republican candidate interrupts Democratic rival 35 times in 90 minutes

Donald Trump interrupted Hillary Clinton four times as often as she interrupted him during the third presidential debate.

The outspoken Republican repeatedly attempted to heckle or talk over his Democratic rival during the 90 minute clash on Monday evening.

He made 24 interjections and 11 sustained interruptions when Ms Clinton was speaking – more than the moderator Fox News anchor Chris Wallace.

In contrast, Ms Clinton interjected eight times and made three sustained interruptions – meaning she was able to take over the conservation.

Mr Trump angrily attempted to deflect Ms Clinton’s criticisms by throwing personal insults at her.

During one exchange where she accused him of being Russian president Vladimir Putin’s puppet he responded “No, you’re the puppet” several times.

In another he claimed she was “such a nasty woman” when she made a reference to his alleged tax avoidance when discussing social security reform.

The debate comes after the Trump campaign saw another disastrous week as more women alleged that they had been sexually assaulted or harassed by the reality star. Mr Trump denies all allegations made against him.

A poll conducted by CNN/ORC found that 52 per cent of voters believed Ms Clinton won the third debate in a row.

In contrast only 39 per cent believed Mr Trump came out on top with nine per cent saying they did not know.

Democrats accounted for 36 per cent of the 547 people polled with Republicans representing 29 per cent.

A further 60 per cent of debate watchers believed Mr Trump spent the majority of his time attacking Ms Clinton.

Following a slide in the polls, Mr Trump has been condemned for claiming the election is rigged against him.

On Monday, Barack Obama told Mr Trump to “stop whining” and “try to make his case to get votes”.

He said Mr Trump’s claim that the media is involved in a conspiracy to poison voters minds against him with false claims of sexual harassment which were “not based on facts”.

Mr Trump refused to say he would accept the result of the election if he loses on 8 November.

Despite the urging of the debate moderator Mr Wallace he said he would “look at it at the time” but planned to keep voters in “suspense”.

Ms Clinton said she was “appalled” by the unprecedented refusal to accept the result saying: “That is not the way our democracy works”.
