The video may have only produced a temporary bump for Hillary
After an absolutely brutal seventy-two hour period for Donald Trump, when he fielded numerous calls to drop out of the race from establishment Republicans, Trump's debate performance seems to have turned the tide.
On Monday, Rasmussen released a poll taken from Friday to Sunday showing Trump trailing by seven points. The report read, "Donald Trump has been clobbered in the White House Watch survey following the release of a video showing him discussing women in graphic sexual detail."
After one day of polling from after the debate was added to the three day sample, Trump's deficit dropped from seven to five. Trump receives 39% to Clinton's 44%. See the poll here.
| October Surprise | After 1 day | After 2 days | After 3 days | After 4 days | After 5 days | After 6 days | After 7 days | |
| National Shift | --- | 1.45 to Clinton | 3.4 to Clinton | 3.25 to Ciinton |
The poll dropped his Friday numbers and added Monday's. The poll still includes his worst numbers from Saturday and Sunday, so it's safe to say he polled better on Monday than he did on Friday. It seems likely, based on the results from yesterday, that Trump will continue to close the gap in this poll.
If it closes two points a day, he would be back to a virtual tie by Thursday. We just have to wait and see.

I may be wearing rose colored glasses but I can’t believe the beast is, was or ever will be ahead.
Remember, she wants this more than life itself considering that she is willing to risk her own personal health to gain the power of the White House. This was going to be a tough battle regardless of who won the GOP nomination. We have no idea who she has been threatening or bribing. It will take a genuine miracle to defeat the Clinton Crime Syndicate.
72 hours? I'm pretty sure the GOPe has never stopped trying to get Trump out of the race. Even now, next week, heck, as the polls close ... they will be suicidally trying to hand the election to Clinton. They are spineless and worthless - they've earned that not just from their treatment of Trump, but also in the way they treat us.
She is ahead, but it’s mostly because he dropped support. I think this is temporary. The tapes were a shock to the system, but people are recovering. I also think he will be largely inoculated from future tapes unless they show something worse. Hard to imagine that.
OK - Something to chew on. I work at a company that services vending machines. We have a bunch of drivers here in OH. it is a 50-50 white/black mix. All guys except one.
I know one of them is a Trump supporter, so on the QT I told him I had Trump signs in my car trunk. Car is unlocked, so get one if you want. He told other drivers and BOOM, the ALL grabbed one.
When I asked what is the attraction to a mix of the drivers I basically got this. A Pro-Business, non-Politician, who will cut MY taxes VS a same-old Politician, corrupt proven liar, who won’t change MY taxes at best = No Brain-er, Duh.
Somehow, this gets left out of the MSM analysis. This is the “ I am mad as hell and not going to take it anymore!” election.
“willing to risk her own personal health to gain the power of the White House...”
...and to stay out of jail.
Whatever HAPPENED to all that "She looks like she's dying" boojit ?
We went from 24/7 for a month videos and photos and reports of the bitch's health to, DAMN, she sure acts like she's healthy !
The latest rumor (and that’s all it is) is that there’s a tape out there with DT dropping the N bomb. Apparently, there’s a GoFundMe looking for $5M to cover legal fees for whoever leaks it.
The MSM is foaming at the mouth over beating Trump. He has made decent inroads into the black vote; I’d hate to see this happen (even though 99% of white Americans have used the word at some point).
She is a wounded, cornered animal. Still powerful, still dangerous. There is nothing, nothing I would put beyond them. They will sacrifice any one and any thing to win.
One drip at a time the media are going to kill him unless the people are smart enough to realize what is going on and fight back at the polls.
The sheeple are being led to slaughter by the media and the Clinton machine.
Noted this yesterday. Doesnt matter about absolute accuracy. What mattered was constant methodology and how the tape cost 7%.
But the debate clearly is undoing that, at least partialy.
“She is a wounded, cornered animal. Still powerful, still dangerous. There is nothing, nothing I would put beyond them. They will sacrifice any one and any thing to win.”
The reality is that they have a vast mainstream media to do their bidding. They don’t have to do anything except sit back and watch their minions follow orders.
Rasmussen sold out to a bunch of liberals quite some time ago to take their place in the lame stream media. Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear or read.
He had nothing to lose going into Sunday. But I think the debate performance stopped the hemorrhaging. He gave the base enough red meat to do that. And he was more in control than the first debate while dishing out the red meat.
He dished out the meat with gravy. It was worth the price of admission just to see that look of shear terror on Bill’s face.
At this point, I think she wants it even more than he does. Bill wants to zip around boinking any female with a pulse, while he still can. Hillary has a thirst for power that is pretty much unquenchable. We saw that back when they were “Co-President” and she tried to work her “magic” with Hillarycare.
