Donald Trump’s Support Falls in Wake of Lewd Video, New Poll Says
It's over. Stick a fork in him. He's done.
In the new survey, Mrs. Clinton jumped to an 11-point lead over Mr. Trump among likely voters on a ballot including third-party candidates, up from 6 percentage points in September.
...
The newly public recording, in which Mr. Trump bragged that his celebrity allowed him to grope and kiss women, prompted wide condemnation within his own party—and calls from many elected GOP officials for him to step aside in favor of another nominee. The survey of 500 registered voters found that 38% believed that the Mr. Trump had been disqualified for office and should withdraw, with 42% disagreeing with the idea that he should exit the race.
Similarly, some 42% of voters agreed with the statement that the tape should not be an issue in the race because it is a decade old and because Mr. Trump has apologized. Some 52% disagreed.
About one-third of voters said they saw Mr. Trump’s comments on the tape as inappropriate, but typical of how some men talk in private, in keeping with Mr. Trump’s description of his remarks as “locker room talk.’’
By contrast, a larger share, 41%, said agreed with the statement that Mr. Trump’s comments were “completely unacceptable” and had crossed a boundary into describing ``touching women in a sexual way without their consent.’’
Asked who they would back for president, 72% of Republicans said they would vote for Mr. Trump, well below the 85% of Democrats backing Mrs. Clinton. That stands as a troubling sign for the GOP nominee. There are usually fewer Republicans than Democrats in the presidential voter pool, and GOP nominees cannot afford to lose many members of their own party.
The weekend survey found signs of women moving away from Mr. Trump. Mrs. Clinton’s advantage among women increased to 21 percentage points, from 12 points in the September Journal/NBC Survey. Mr. Trump retained a small, single-point advantage among men.
