After a series of allegations of past sexual misconduct, the poll finds that some women who’d initially given him the benefit of the doubt have since moved away.

Trump’s rival Hillary Clinton, 68, the Democratic presidential nominee, is leading him by more than seven points in most of the key battleground States but an unperturbed Trump, 70, said that he is on his “way to the White House”.
Supporters of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump listen to him speak during a campaign rally, Saturday, Oct. 22, 2016, in Cleveland. “If they can fight somebody like me, who has unlimited resources to fight back, just look at what they can do to you”.
However, in an 2008 interview with NY1 reviewed by CNN, Trump had praised Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, for their time in elected office. The Senate’s top Democrat, Harry Reid, is retiring after serving out a fifth term, and Obama is trying to keep it in party hands.
Trump didn’t say what kind of lawsuits he planned to file against the women, but any libel litigation could be complicated by the fact that Trump, in the 2005 recording, bragged about the same kind of conduct the women now accuse him of perpetrating.
He’s showing that he will continue to lash out, is happy to settle scores with GOP critics like House Speaker Paul Ryan while he still can, and will use the media spotlight to wage his own personal battles before the American people.
Venus, who only gave her first name, a Hispanic woman who came from Cuba a decade ago, was yet another fervent Trump supporter.
Ann Jones, a white middle-aged woman whose family lost its tool and die-making unit to China, said all that mattered was what Mr. Trump would do as President.
“We don’t want to get ahead of our skis here”, said Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook.
“I thought, ‘That’s it, ‘” said Spillar, executive director of the Feminist Majority Foundation. But he quickly slipped into his combative rhetoric, slamming a “totally rigged” system and raging against establishment politicians and the media for seeking to sink his campaign. “I think what my father is saying is, ‘I want a fair election”, his son Eric Trump said on ABC’s This Week. While 270 is still the goal, he said, Clinton is expanding her map because traditionally red states like Arizona are now in play.
Yet even as Clinton appeared to be strengthening her lead, her campaign was careful not to declare premature victory. Intended participation now has followed: The share of registered Republicans who are likely to vote is down 7 points since mid-October. Without drawing too much attention to what they’re doing, Republicans everywhere are now going to accept that Hillary Clinton is going to be the next president of the United States, and reposition themselves accordingly.
Trump already was reeling after a tape of his “grab ’em” remarks emerged, and he started facing new allegations of sexual assault. “I will fix it folks…”, he said.
Sixty-five percent of likely voters reportedly disapprove of his refusal to say whether he’d recognize a Clinton win as legitimate.

Toomey spokesman Ted Kwong said Clinton’s comments highlight McGinty’s lack of independence. “Bluer and bluer voters in suburban Washington, and their like in Richmond and Hampton Roads, far outweigh rural voters’ preference for Trump”. Many of these make it apparent that he has known what ails America politically for a very long time, and he is articulating the remedies right now.
