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....

You may be very correct. Trump definitely gained some "street cred" among those demographics.
The conspiracy that the entire DC establishment including GOP and DEMs and the media is pulling out all the stops for Hillary to win the election? That is not a conspiracy. You don’t think they want to win this as a “valid” election? Why are all these voter ID laws getting overturned and no GOP guy in DC is protesting? You don’t think here is a plan B if trump wins the election? There is, and I don’t know what it is and the insiders do not want to have to go there but they will.
It’s almost like the entire establishment were ready for this including the polling companies. Ooops. Now he’s going to be stronger than ever.
2% were FReepers?
Fwiw, my 30 year old daughter first impression of Trump comments was voting 3rd party. After 24 hours to process it she realized that means Clinton chooses justices. She is back on Trump train.
Much ado over nothing especially when you spend 1 second considering the consequences of a Mrs Clinton nuclear war with Russia
.. I think your theatrical vapors aren’t an appropriate response. Shut up, calm down, and stop destabilizing the battalion.

This is a new low. I don’t know what they blackmailed Ross Perot with to get him to withdraw. That was vile too.
Hey, it's happened before...
Sam Donaldson: "Mr. President, you've... (snip) blamed the mistakes of the past and the Congress. Do you yourself bear any of the blame?"
Reagan: "Yes, Sam, because for many years I was a Democrat."
