‘Stormy Effect': Trump’s support falls with women, rises with men in new poll

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. Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen has acknowledged paying Clifford $130,000 just before the 2016 election to not talk about the alleged affair, raising questions among election lawyers about whether the payment violated campaign finance law

Fake News

[RitaOK]

This is Left side of The Hill writers speaking. Blech.

[JLAGRAYFOX]

Know what I got to say about this poll...”HOGWASH”!!! Case closed. Not worth commenting on, because no one, man or woman, with half a functioning brain cares about this aging old hag has-been, one way or the other.

[Logical me]

BS!

“Those women need a few more men in their lives telling them how to vote.”

LOL! Given the mental state of most women today you could have gotten more votes for Trump by ordering your lady to vote for Hillary.

Welcome back BTW

“Support from women fell from 41 percent to 35 percent in the new Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll”

[SaveFerris]

Did The Hill predict Hillary to win?

Wouldn’t surprise me one bit if they did.
