Poll: Americans believe women over Trump on affair allegations

Source: Politico

A majority of Americans believe the women who have alleged affairs with Donald Trump rather than the president’s denials, according to a poll released on Monday.

Sixty-three percent of those surveyed in the CNN poll say they believe the women who have come forward with the allegations of extramarital affairs with Trump, while 21 percent say they believe the president and 16 percent say they have no opinion on the matter.

The survey found that, overall, Republicans were more likely to trust in Trump’s denials instead of the women, 41 percent to 31 percent, and that women put more faith in the allegations over the president, 70 percent to 54 percent.

A majority of those polled also expressed support for efforts to free up the women who have reportedly been barred under nondisclosure agreements from discussing their alleged sexual relationships with Trump. Fifty-one percent of Americans said the women should be free to discuss the affairs, while 41 percent said the so-called hush agreements should remain in place.

to speak in public, unlike the orange turd. In spite of being threatened, Daniels appeared on TV, and told her story. She did not hide behind an incompetent lawyer, like Cohen. tRump seems to hire people who are as bumbling at their jobs as he is. As much as he loves to have his ugly mug on TV, he is avoiding this golden opportunity to come out and protect himself. Very telling. Cowardly, just like his Viet Nam days.
