Poll: After Trump Tape, Clinton's Lead Up to Double Digits

As Donald Trump's campaign reels over tapes of the presidential candidate's sexually aggressive comments about women in 2005, the Republican nominee now trails Hillary Clinton by double digits among likely voters, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

The poll, conducted on Saturday and Sunday but before the second presidential debate, shows Clinton with 46 percent support among likely voters in a four-way matchup, compared to 35 percent for Trump.

As Republicans grapple with how to hold on to control of the House and Senate despite the Trump campaign's woes, Democrats overall now have a seven-point advantage on the question of which party voters want to see in control of Congress.

Forty-nine percent of voters say they'd like to see Democrats in power on Capitol Hill, compared to 42 percent who chose the GOP.

1. a tad optimistic perhaps, but not impossible.

08 is looking like a reasonable pop. vote yardstick. Different states, but roughly the same numbers margin is my guess.

2. Those third party voters must know they could help destroy the Republican majority

by supporting Hillary Clinton instead of throwing their vote away.



I so want us to win congress back, but enough of them are hurting us disproportionately. At least in this poll.

5. For that, the important thing would be Democratic House and Senate votes

It's worth pointing out now to them, I think, that people could even use a protest vote in the presidential election and vote in Democrats in Congress to get change in the country, if they must. A bit heretical, I suppose, but I think Hillary is comfortably in now (take Paul Ryan's reaction, for instance - he's given up on Trump for president, and says his Republicans have to concentrate on getting themselves re-elected).

3. Love it! That's a poll you won't find on TB2k!

Nothing but racist morons on TB2K! The inmates run the asylum over there. Dennis is a putz and gets run over. I have an account and post from time to time as "one of them" to throw them off. Those idiots actually think Trump's going to win! It's comical!

It's always good to know what the other side are thinking. Those people are nuts.

8. Delightful! And best of all,

His performance last night was just enough to slow the hemorrhage - meaning he will be in, dragging down those down-party votes, right until the end.

[Ligyron]

14. Precisely.

That's just what I was thinking. If he'd flamed out this time it might have been an excuse for him to exit somehow.

Now the GOP is in a real pickle for sure. I love it!

10. This is the kind of extremely bad news that keeps Trump up late tweeting.

51% of the population, which happen to be of female persuasion.

16. Lets not forget that no matter what trump did hes got a base of 35-39% who will vote for him...

Guaranteed. That's the reason everyone should stay focused and involved to the end...........
