Morning Consult/POLITICO: Clinton+4 in poll done yesterday

[BlueSwan]

So pussygate has ZERO impact according to this poll (given that C+4 is totally in line with recent polling).

Honestly, I'm not terribly surprised by this. My initial reaction was that this wouldn't do much damage to Trump, but I started changing my mind after the general freakout associated with it.

This poll was done less than 24 hours after the news broke. Half my friends weren't even aware because of college football. It takes a bit longer than one day for the American public to learn of and absorb this story. The real impact will start to show up in this week's polls.

They specifically ask people of this, and ask them to evaluate the video and ask them how it affects their opinion of Trump. Basically, the takeaway from the poll is that 80% of the people know about the story, most don't like it, but very very few of the republicans wnat Trump to drop out or the GOP to abandon Trump and it doesn't seem to affect very many in terms of how they are going to vote. A sizable majority of republicans felt that this is just how men talk in private about women.

I won't say it directly but I will say God damn you that support Trump.

Trump supporters do indeed deserve to rot in hell (at least those of his supporters who aren't just morons, but actually know better), but not really because of this video. Trump has said and done far far worse. He is a threat to the survival of human civilization and this video has nothing to do with this.

I'm beyond the point where I want to deal with these f-ckiing morons that call themselves Trump supporters. If you support this man, I want nothing to do with you. You cannot and could never be a friend of mine. I downright hate these people now. Trump supporters are nasty, vile, racist, misogynists, and apologists of sexual assault. I do not understand how anyone could put themselves under that umbrella.

Sadly, I agree. This is a huge threat to the future of the western world and liberal democracy. I believe that you have a moral responsibility to vote against Donald Trump. If you fail to do this you are either immoral or a moron. I can forgive the morons, but not those who know better.
