‘Stormy Effect': Trump’s support falls with women, rises with men in new poll
The Hill ^ | 4-2-18 | Jonathan Easley

President Trump's support among women plunged this month as he battled controversies surrounding alleged affairs with the adult film actress Stormy Daniels and Playboy model Karen McDougal, according to a new poll.

Support from women fell from 41 percent to 35 percent in the new Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll, even as Trump's support among men rose 3 points to 53 percent. Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll co-director Mark Penn said the growing gender gap in the poll is the result of the "Stormy effect."

"While President Trump's overall ratings are stable, his support increased among men and dropped among women," Penn said. "This poll was taken right after the stormy Daniels interview and so I think this increased gender polarization is the 'Stormy Effect'."

In a highly-rated "60 Minutes" interview last week, Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, detailed an alleged affair she says she had with Trump in 2006, when Melanie Trump was pregnant with their youngest son.

I thought liberated women were all in favor of sex workers making a living. Don’t they need customers to make a living? You’d think they would appreciate Trump helping out the poor girl.

Full poll results will be posted online later this week. The Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll survey is an online sample drawn from the Harris Panel and weighted to reflect known demographics. As a representative online sample, it does not report a probability confidence interval.

Maybe they conducted this poll at the Women’s March or March for Our Lives.

Hard to believe anyone would fall for Stormy’s tale. It is ridiculous.

I am at a loss as to why American “women” are siding with a whore.

Okay, I can think of a few reasons women might side with a whore, but none of them are very complementary to those women.

This clearly had to do with their special polling sauce. They were actively over polling democrat women in an attempt to blunt Trump’s dramatic rise in popularity. This was not a good day for the “Old French Whore stick” from SNL.

Meaningless “shifts”...close to or within the margin of error.

I’ve never put too much stock in sex scandals as far as how it affects how capable a leader is. Rape would definitely be an exception. That said, who knows whether the whore is really telling the truth.

“Plunged” - I call it the neckline effect - the more their neckline plunges while in public, the lower their estimate of President Trump...
