After a 2005 recording of Donald Trump making lewd comments about women emerged on Friday, 63 percent of likely voters said they do not think the Republican nominee respects women, according to the latest NBC News|SurveyMonkey Weekly Election Tracking Poll. In the four days the poll was in the field prior to the revelation of Trump's comments on Friday, 55 percent of likely voters said they did not think he respects women.
The poll was conducted online from October 3 through 9 in the week prior to the second presidential debate. The question regarding Trump's respect for women was fielded the entire week, but the opinions were analyzed before and after the tape surfaced on Friday.
