Hillary Clinton Leads Donald Trump After Second Debate

His leaked “locker room talk” from 2005, in which he was caught on tape telling then-‘Access Hollywood’ co-host Billy Bush that his fame and fortune let him do anything he wants to women – including “grab them by the p*ssy” – became an instant turn-off for many Republicans, with almost one in five (19 percent) saying his vulgar comments about sexual assault disqualified him from the presidency.

“It didn’t surprise me that it came from him. This is nothing but a politically motivated fictional pile-on”, said Hope Hicks, Trump’s national press secretary. “I disagree with much of what she’s fighting for”.

“I know there’s been a lot of negativity”.

The leaked video of Trump point of view towards women represented a great part of the mutual attack. He called the women behind the claims “horrible liars”.

An average of polls seems to indicate an electoral landslide for Trump if only men voted in November, and an even bigger landslide for Clinton if only women voted. Forty percent of respondents identified as Democrats, 30% identified as Republicans and 25% said they were independent. Forty-two percent of those polled said Clinton won the Sunday night contest – including 13 percent of Republicans.

The 2005 tape prompted a stream of elected Republicans, including Sens.

In the battleground states she is better placed than Mr Obama was at this stage four years ago in Colorado, Florida, North Carolina and Virginia, holding her own in Michigan, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, but faring worse in Iowa, Nevada and Ohio.

But Trump is defiant, faced with condemnation and desertions from fellow Republicans. That said, October has a tendency to throw up a few more surprises. “They haven’t been listening”. In one survey, she is leading by 14 points. But she has five daughters, and Trump’s comments about grabbing and kissing women disturbed her.

DONALD TRUMP: I have said things that, frankly, you hear these things I said. Monday’s poll showed that Trump had only a 1-point edge over Clinton among people who identified as evangelicals. If she didn’t have it, she’d be at 10 percent right now.

It hasn’t been easy for the Trump campaign this week. “She doesn’t have the stamina”, Trump told debate moderator Lester Holt in response to a question about Trump’s previous comments about how Clinton didn’t have “a presidential look”.

Meanwhile, at a rally in West Palm Beach, Florida, Trump told supporters the reports were “a conspiracy against the American people” by the political and media establishment. She said she appreciates that he is the same person in public and in private.

Donald Trump was “stalking” Hillary Clinton at last week’s town-hall style debate, the Democratic presidential nominee alleged in an interview set to air Friday.

Team Trump believes that pre-debate photo op rattled Hillary Clinton at the debate. That’s down from a 12-point advantage for Trump in July. Trump replied, “I will say this about Hillary: She doesn’t quit”.
