On a scale of 1 to 10, based on each scandal's impact on the outcome of the election, how would you rank and categorize each scandal of Donald Trump in this election?


For example, here is my take:

Kzhir Khan
7
Bigotry against Muslims, the military, and people of Eastern descent

Alicia Machado
7
Bigotry against women, Hispanics, and overweight people

Tax Return
8
Failure to pay and reveal income tax, exploitation of the poor

Access Hollywood Video
10
Dirty attitude towards women, dirty language

Sexual Assault Charges
8
Dirty behavior towards women, disrespect of the law


I may be missing some of them, but they are the big ones, I believe.

Khizr Khan - 9 -  Trump's largest polling drop so far, and by a decent amount. Worked to alienate voters who would otherwise be in his base.

Access Hollywood - 8 - Terrible timing for a scandal and serves to push undecided voters, especially women, away.

Assault Charges - 7 - Has sticking power, but nobody who didn't change their mind already will be swayed unless incontrovertible evidence of their claims comes out. That would move this to a 10.

Tax return - 7 - Lasted more than one news cycle, but doesn't seem to have had as much of an impact on polling as the other scanfals.

Alicia Machado - 6 - Really only lasted one news cycle, and only reinforces how people already feel; few minds were swayed.
