ABC NEWS POLL: 2016 Election Tracking No. 1 EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE AFTER 9 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 23, 2016
Clinton Vaults to a Double-Digit Lead, Boosted by Broad Disapproval of Trump
Hillary Clinton has vaulted to a double-digit advantage in the inaugural ABC News 2016 election tracking poll, boosted by broad disapproval of Donald Trump on two controversial issues: His treatment of women and his reluctance to endorse the election’s legitimacy.
Likely voters by a vast 69-24 percent disapprove of Trump’s response to questions about his treatment of women. After a series of allegations of past sexual misconduct, the poll finds that some women who’d initially given him the benefit of the doubt have since moved away.
Fifty-nine percent of likely voters, moreover, reject Trump’s suggestion that the election is rigged in Clinton’s favor, and more, 65 percent, disapprove of his refusal to say whether he’d accept a Clinton victory as legitimate. Most strongly disapprove, a relatively rare result.
All told, Clinton leads Trump by 12 percentage points among likely voters, 50 to 38 percent, in the national survey, her highest support and his lowest to date in ABC News and ABC News/Washington Post polls. Gary Johnson has 5 percent support, Jill Stein 2 percent.
This was a coordinated hit job and they jumped the shark. No one believed it. That is why Wash Post is trying to crawl into the background and disown any affiliation to this embargoed hit piece which they were originally a part of.
WOW Their propaganda hit piece failing in record time.
