First Poll on Trumps Naughty Word Scandal Well, the first polling results are in on the Donald Trump 11-year-old Naughty-Word-Scandal. According to this mornings USC Daybreak Poll, the overall reaction is --- a resounding yawn.
Trumps support did drop one tenth of a percentage point, from 46.2 to 46.1%, but Hillary Clinton dropped 4 times as much - .4% - down to 43%. So, Trump leads overall by 3.2%
Bottom line, Trump actually gained an additional third of a percentage point on Clinton.
Now, granted, the scandal broke in the early afternoon, but still bad news travels fast and overall, we suspect that this will be seen as yet another Clinton dirty trick in the end.
Digging down into the data of the poll tends to confirm this. Trump still leads with every age group. Although Trump support dropped in the 18-34 group yesterday, so did Clintons, and Trump maintains a quarter of a percentage point lead among Millennials.
Trump gained in the other two age groups. In the 35-64 group, Trump now leads by 3.2%.
In the 65 and over group, the group that votes in the highest percentages, Trump now leads Clinton by 6-and-a-half points.
You cant argue with the numbers, and remember, this was the most accurate poll in the 2012 Presidential race. And another thing to remember is, every voter falls into one of these 3 categories.
Interestingly, Trump actually gained a full point-and-a-half on Clinton among women and now trails by 11.5 percentage points. What you hear day after day in the MSM is that Clinton leads Trump by 20 points or more among women. However, with men, Trump still crushes Clinton by 15.8 percentage points.

He hears the caboose trying to run him down.
Lesser mortals would crack under the pressure.
LOL It’s too early for polling
Let’s see the MSM blow it out of porportion yjis weekend & see what people think in a weeks time

Fu**ken Geraldo acting like it is such a HUGE deal that TRUMP is on Life support right now! LOL
&
and all those stupid Republicans telling TRUMP to drop out! FU!
Likely the same thing they did from the Tax returns story that no one remembers.
How many Celebrities are Stripping For Hillary ?
The media is irrelevant.
Social media is where the action is.
You are about to see a Trump that no one has seen. The next few weeks are going to be some of the worse the Clintons will experience.
He will do anything to restore the Trump brand. He is a cornered animal with unlimited ammunition and no rules in the ring.
The cucks gotta be cucking.
I’ve heard FAR worse come out of the mouths of women that I work with.
And in other news Bill Clinton rapes (5) women media mum women yawn.
ANY Republican who calls for Trump to drop out has their own agenda..the GOP is dead..they are Democrats now..wanting open borders, single payer, and getting rid of the 2nd Amendment..this all comes from Ryan and Romney..two FAILED candidates who couldnt even beat Obama in 2012..maybe someone needs to remind Romney of his 47 percent comment before he casts the first stone
In his 1992 biography, among the revelations Fox News Channel host Geraldo Rivera disclosed was that he had slept with 1,000 women at a young age. Among his conquests was actress Bette Midler. Asked about her sexual adventure with Rivera, Midler said that the experience was nothing to write home about.
Ironically, it’s Bill Clinton’s having taught a whole generation what a blowjob was and other interesting uses of a cigar, that makes this ultimately a nothingburger.
This is what Trump should have been absolutely prepared for, and his response thus far can be improved.
Honestly - everyone knew he was a playboy, he never hid that part of his life. He does need to show that not only he recognizes what he said was wrong, but emphasize how he has changed. The American people can be very forgiving, and his comments last night were a good start. Many politicians are currently distancing themselves, and until he makes a more forceful pronouncement on whatever transition he went through, he risks losing those on the fence (though, again, everyone should have known this kind of nonsense would come out - and will continue to come out for things he said over the years).
Kennedy made his Catholic statement, Romney addressed the Mormon faith and religion generally issue - Trump needs to address his history. And not fall for the trap of it being about Bill - focus only on how Hillary attacked the victims and that he is running against her and her sad history of slamming victims of sexual crimes (just stay away from her comments with respect to his adulterous companions - that only makes her a victim and that is what she is after).

The good news is that Trump will be able to reset this by tomorrow night before the news cycle starts again on Monday. If people are talking about Bill Clinton as a rapist in the context of his remarks, it’s a win. The media is going to characterize Broaddrick’s allegations as unfounded, so it’s up to Trump to give a little bit of information about all the women he’s harassed or assaulted and Hillary’s role in smearing them.
The media has gotten away with papering it over as “infidelity” for 20 years. Enough is enough.
