The latest wave of the YouGov/CBS News 2016 Battleground Tracker polled likely voters in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin
In a new wave of the YouGov/CBS News 2016 Battleground Tracker Democrat Hillary Clinton leads her Republican challenger, Donald Trump, in Wisconsin, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
The surveys were conducted before the release, Friday, of tapes showing Donald Trump speak in lewd terms about groping women. But a follow-up survey that recontacted the same voters from Friday to Saturday in Pennsylvania and Ohio reveals the vast majority of those who said they would vote for Trump earlier in the week are unmoved about by tapes so far. In both states, only 8% of Trump’s supporters who have heard about the tape say the revelations have made them think worse of the candidate, while 2% say they now think better of Trump. The remaining Trump voters (91% in Ohio and 90% in Pennsylvania) say the tapes have had no impact on their view of Trump.
However, it is too soon to determine the full impact of the tapes. Less than half of the Republican nominee’s own supporters have yet seen the tape, and around one in five reported not having heard anything about it. There is other evidence of how damaging the controversy could be as Trump tries to build a winning coalition: among those in Ohio and Pennsylvania who are undecided or supporting third-party candidates, less than 1% think better of Trump after the tapes and 48% think worse. One in five Republicans and two in five independents think less of Trump over the controversy....

Faux issue bites the dust.
I’d say 9.999 in 10
I am afraid they have about 5 more of these tapes and they are going to release them every 5 days until the election
[while 2% say they now think better of Trump.]
FRATERNITY MEMBERS and COLLEGE SPORTS PLAYERS just hopped aboard the TRUMP train.
I suspect they gave McCain and others a heads up as to what is on the other tapes to get them to bail
I am sure they will run with it.
Why would 1 out of 10 be fazed? over what? They didnt like Trump’s honesty to begin with? But there is nothing to be fazed about. What specifically are the fazed on? They can’t tell you. It is a classic conclusion by smear with no there there. this thing has not only fizzeled , it is now back firing badly!!
.. you dropped your badge.
If McCain knows the Trump team knows also and I am sure they are prepared. Remember Trump is a business man not a politician!
The Clinton’s are running the vilest, sleaziest, most disgusting political campaign in American history and the voters should be outraged that they have stooped to such despicable tactics. I know I am. I think this could backfire on them. As if the Clinton’s are without sin. laughable.
Don’t laugh. This episode probably got Trump hundreds of thousands of black and Hispanic votes that he might not have had otherwise. Macho posturing is pretty ordinary outside of America’s lily white GOP-E and MSM.
“Far too many women are still denied critical access to reproductive health care and safe childbirth. All the laws we’ve passed don’t count for much if they’re not enforced,” Clinton said, using the euphemism for abortion.
“Rights have to exist in practice — not just on paper,” Clinton argued. “Laws have to be backed up with resources and political will. And deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed,:
"That is not going over well with pro-life advocates."Perhaps Republicans who are opposing the other candidates because of his previous lifestyle and words might be wise to consider the fact that they have no alternative if they are to have any future voice in preserving the "religious freedoms" embodied in their Constitution.
The freight train of progressivism, with all of its negative interpretations of the U. S. Constitution's limits on government power is about to pull out of the station, with Engineer Clinton on board, unless those who love that Constitution keep their focus on what is at stake, from economic freedom to all the others enshrined in the Constitution of 1787.
Even more people have not heard about Juanita Broaderick. Tonight is Trump’s chance to inform the LIVs.
The Tape will have run its course by Monday, meanwhile Wikileaks will perculate for a while as it takes time to go thru some 2000 pages and they have more to dump. Could be more tapes however, but they can’t play them on TV. You can only hear the whole thing online. The dopey commentators can only refer to it as vulgar or whatever, so diffuses it a little.
I read on FR yesterday, IIRC Jane Long may have posted it, some tweet or quote from a man whose name I didn’t recognize, saying he has 2 more, one about the same as the first one, and one “much worse”. He was the producer for the first 2 seasons or whatever it’s called of The Apprentice.
The Rs bailing on Trump never wanted him, and this is all an obvious collusion between the Repuke elites and the Dems to destroy Trump’s support.
Exactly, the bootcher of Benghazi ...
