Republican Voters Remain Loyal To Trump In First National Poll After Video
Morning Consult ^ | 9 Oct 2016 | MEGHAN MCCARTHY

Posted on 10/09/2016 7:45:21 AM PDT by mandaladon

A video of Donald Trump making lewd sexual comments prompted plenty of party stalwarts to abandon the GOP nominee, but Republican voters aren’t ready to leave their man behind: Only 12 percent of Republicans say Trump should drop out of the race.

Overall support for Donald Trump dropped just one point in a POLITICO/Morning Consult poll taken immediately after the 2005 Access Hollywood video leaked. Trump would get 38 percent of the vote if the election were held today, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton would get 42 percent. The poll is the first national survey to test voters’ opinions after the video became public Friday afternoon. A POLITICO/Morning Consult poll taken days earlier on October 5-6 had Trump at 39 percent and Clinton at 41 percent.

Trump’s numbers remained stable thanks to the loyalty of the Republican base, a fact that could give pause to party leaders considering publicly abandoning the nominee. Nearly three-quarters of Republicans say the leaders of the GOP should stand by Trump,

Remember when el Jeb said that he would be the nominee, regardless of the outcome of the primaries?

Yep. That was such a blatant statement or clue that they had planned to steal the election and just place Jeb in as president.

It’s not over yet. There’s still a month for them to keep pushing this crap. If they can’t find something, they’ll just make stuff up, do the damage, then it let it dissolve away. It should be quite interesting what they’ll come up with as we get closer to election day. The criminals in govt are very, very afraid of Trump. It would literally be the end of the world for them. Their sins will be shown for the whole world to see, and they will be cast into the abyss forever.

The more I think about it the more I see how pathetic this "surprise" was. I only hope it galvanizes his support.

I believe it will. I am beyond outraged over this. I can't be the only one.

"Pussygate" isn't going to cost Trump a single vote. The dickless GOP establishment clutching their pearls and running to their fainting couches weren't going to vote for him to begin with.

I can't wait until Paul Ryan and the rest of the establishment cowards answer for their duplicity! Those "Republican" losers make me want to puke.

Trump will weather this just fine. The quislings that stabbed him in the back deserve every thing they have coming. Republicans should withhold their vote from McCain, Chaffetz, Ryan, et al.

Regardless of all the hoopla, the election is still Clinton vs Trump as to whom will be the
next President of the USA. Apparently the Dems thought Hillary was going to loose so
bring out the dirt. I'm not really sure the Clinton's want that to happen.

Tonight will be interesting as the mods will most likely lead off with this topic. If
Trump keeps his cool he has plenty of rejoinders to use if he chooses to.

The people went against the GOPe and chose Trump over their preferred candidates. That has been eating at them and it is now a war for control of the party. The people should stick with Trump and throw the rest of the bums out. Losing the Senate and getting rid of McCain, Ayotte, etc would be well worth it if Trump takes the Executive Branch.

Voters are turned off by dirty tricks. And it is clear this was a pre-planned, timed, dirty trick using an audio of more than a decade ago of Trump using a foul mouth in locker room banter at a time he was a Democrat and the entire genre of the time from Democratic operatives was that Bill Clinton’s abuse of women is cool because some of the “girls” and “trailer trash” had nice legs, thus the Democrats were the guarantors and bankrollers of this climate of cliques at the time to cover for the Clintons. It was specifically released just at the time of the Wikileaks and Guccifer dumps occurred so that her operatives in the phony liberal news who are nothing but surrogates for Hillary – many of these surrogates who were in operation at the time of Bill Clinton’s rapes and sexual molestations and abuse of power using equivalent type banter to portray Bill Clinton as just a “good ol’ boy, boys will be boys” - now these surrogates will purposely cover nothing of the revelations of Hillary in collusion with crony capitalist Wall Street bamkrollers, but rather focus only on some audio from over a decade ago of Trump using a dirty mouth.

Wall Street has paid Hillary of Chappaqua millions and millions for “speeches” and private “round tables” and “meetings” that secures their cheap labor agenda, Hillary the enabler as always enabling their play for pay behavior. The surrogates assume they have destroyed Trump, but maybe they misplayed their own card because now it is totally fair to bring up the Clinton’s past and all of the corruptions, rapes, abuses to boot. And so it begins. And now, we are finding out that Bill Clinton was found by Secret Service Agent Gary Byrne in a shocking position with Walter Mondale’s daughter. Nice.

McCain withdraws endorsement? This guy was NeverTrump from day one, these people never supported Trump and each one of them attacked Trump from day one because Trump said he wants to build a wall and the NeverTrump’ers are nothing but toadies of the cheap labor interests, period. If Trump had said at the commencement of his campaign that he wants “comprehensive immigration reform” they would all have been waving his flag even if their boy Jeff Bush blew multi-millions on his “campaign” which we were told he had “already won the nomination” before it was clear the voters hate him. This is also part of the contrived misrepresentation of reality to call the NeverTrumper’s of the GOPe “leaders abandoning Trump” – the very reason Trump is the nominee is because of the failure of leadership from these corrupt phony turds and so the base rejected them and spit in their face, and hates them. What these “leaders” fear is the anti-establishment wave that now will in time remove them from office and is a blow to their elitist corrupt power. From morning until O’Reilly who is neutral and Hannity is the voice of the average American, then again all night, FOX is nothing but a bunch of GOPe Jeb Bush BUSH-CLINTON, CLINTON-BUSH mouthpieces for the same cheap labor interests. They will, and should, be the next target from outraged anti-establishment wave of Americans which will not be tempered no matter what the election, it will grow and grow and it will see its morning in America.

I have seen so much of the clinton’s and all their lies, grab for power, using others and my mind doesn’t even want to go to where ever else they might have been, all through the 90’s, and heaven forbid, there is no way they are going to go away, and neither will obama. They will be around to cause trouble until the LORD takes them out. I am so sick of the clinton’s, and the obama’s I can’t see straight. How could America have been so stupid???

The media didn’t ‘fall’ for anything. They are willing accomplices in aiding all things Clinton and Democrat.

Thank GOD, two big time donors Robert and Rebecca Mercer for Trump that have, watch, here it comes, COMMON SENSE! Donald J. Trump loves this country, e.g. America and has not tried to sell the whole country down the river like obama and hillary.

According to townhall there are two more drops on trump to happen...oboy hang on!!

This is a rumor started by a nobody on Twitter that all the pearl clutchers always like to describe as "Been very reliable up to this point". Besides the hyperventilating by the MSM, and some moronic Freepers who I hope have been banned, this is a big nothing-burger in a campaign where most of the MSM has had nothing-burgers on Trump. This was a story to appeal to unattractive homely women who can't get sex from attractive desirable men anyways and look at those said men with envy and disdain. Women with the bodies like a a sack of Santa's toys and faces of a Russian peasant. They are really looking forward to book club on Tuesday to bitch about pig men, the same men they wish would pin them against a wall and kiss them deeply. This along the along the lines of Rush's Why women are feminists. They are mostly divorced, mostly bitter and mostly made bad choices in choosing beta males, bad boys, cheaters and liars and now think all men are. Those said women turn 55, get even wider and become absolutely invisible, as whats left of their femininity gets swallowed up in bitterness and making Christmas wreaths for their kids who cringe when they see her name come up on caller id.

Anecdotal story, my GF has not made up her mind about the election and she even said this was a joke, desperation. I take her reaction as someone being not so political to be pretty typical. Hillary voters, white educated liberal imbicile women in their 20's with no kids, women in their late 40's up to 65, who were discarded like old milk by a man at some point, minority parasites and about 1/2 the LBQRASGDHHDI community. That's your 40 percent. With a smattering of cucked white males whose flaccid penis and flaccid zest for life has left them bitter and on the fringe of becoming gay.

How could America have been so stupid???

I agree with you. But we are stupid over and over again...

Every second term Democrat president in the past 100 years has got us into a war...

Wilson 1916, second term with the slogan “Keep us out of the war.” Got us into WWI

FDR third term.. “No American boots on foreign soil” and then full escalation into WWII

Truman, finished FDR’s fourth term and in his second term, full escalation into Korea.

Johnson, finished Kennedy’s term and then after the Gulf of Tonkin fabrication(so he could win the election) full escalation into Vietnam.

Clinton’s second term created the Middle East fiasco with Saddam Hussein that led to 911 just after he left office. Keep in mind all the missiles he launched into Iraq to keep the No-fly zone.

Obama still has a few months and we are on the verge of WWIII with Russia (the Bear) directly confronting us and moving missiles into Syria next to Israel. Step back and look at the bigger picture. It’s not pretty... I just keep praying and know that God is in charge.. He’s our only hope at this point no matter who wins.

Democrat’s have always gotten us into war as their foreign policy is like a parent raising their children without any discipline. They just keep saying “Stop That!” and never enforce anything they say until they have a knock down drag out with their teenagers.

I don’t want war, and the best way to protect against it is to let the enemy know their consequences of their actions. Obama has just rewarded their bad behavior by shipping them billions of $$$ in cash.

Well I have to agree. Two things it has done is energized the base ( which is far greater than the “party” and 2. It caught the flashing red eyes of the rats in the GOPE. I understand that the source of this private old man talk was actually the bush family !!Of course it was given to hillary in the uniparty cabal and she has delivered to globalist leftist in England for the timely release as she is exposed in Wikileaks as being for OPEN BORDERS. But tonight the spot light needs to be on her criminal past and he lying mouth. This will be far more historic than the mush mush forst debate and I trust that Trump will over ride his pussy advisers and kick Fat butt!! We will be liquored up and pissed off. GO TRUMP!!
