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....

Why does the articles say “tapes”, do you know? I thought there was one.
McCain is told what to do. Otherwise the world will be told about him betraying his fellow POWs. There goes his legacy.
I believe EVERY republican who cowers does so because of the dirt the Clintons and obamas have on them.
“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.
You think this is all they have?
Thank you for your concern.
It has been duly noted.
The rapist of Washington DC.
Same news but the headline that
would be written by the NYT would
be like...
“Trump support in Ohio, PA decimated by tape”
...decimated meaning reduced ten percent.
It is a decade old, which makes it ancient in today’s world.
It is also on top of leaked nude pictures of Trump’s current wife and implied she’d been a prostitute, which biases people against considering the tapes relevant - the liberals have already shown they are scraping the bottom of the barrel for sensational allegations to throw at him.
Shows that the tape (and if others are to be released) was a real blunder on the part of both the Media and Uniparties. Most people know that Trump is not running for Pope or that he that he tried to project a squeaky clean image. The mudslinging only has very short term effects and voters could get fed up with the above groups even more so if it continues.
“Exactly, the bootcher of Benghazi ...
You misspelled “Bitch.”
.. I think your theatrical vapors aren't an appropriate response. Shut up, calm down, and stop destabilizing the battalion.
Win this within the election process. They do not wish to go to plan B. They will be doing EVERYTHING to have Hillary win and still be able to have called it a valid election. As Drudge is pointing out it is Trump (an his supporters) against the world.
I am calming down. I have been hyper about politics for 30 years and I am starting to go through the sobering process of realizing that everything I believed I was doing was a big illusion. I am in the process of calming down and hunkering down in anticipation of the storm ahead.
Excellent news and grateful for this update, Byron
You are welcome.
Bring it on. Anybody thought that Trump lived a priestly, chaste and politically hypocrital life needs serious cranium work. He was a man of the world who lived and worked fully is cosmopolitan New York. Wow. Get a freaking life you weak willed hypocrites. Most Americans know this. The MSM thinks it matters. It doesn’t.
Losing 10% is not a good thing.
People tell pollsters (complete strangers) all kinds of lies.
Trump needs to APOLOGIZE FOR BEING A DEMOCRAT...back then at the time he said these words...then....
Second HE NEEDS TO LIST ALL THE THINGS THE PRESS LET DEMOCRATS GET AWAY WITH from Kennedy killing the intern up to Bill Clinton's rapes and orgy island...
THEN TRUMP NEEDS TO SAY SOME OF THE DEMOCRAT sleaze stayed with him even after he became Republican and SAW THE LIGHT.For that he apologizes.
Then Trump should offer an invitation to Hillary and the elite liberal mods to join the Republican Party and wash away their crooked world view.
Great post! Now,I believe every conspiracy that I’ve heard the past 30 years!
