A jump in women’s support for Hillary Clinton after a series of scandals roiling Donald Trump has put her six points ahead of her GOP rival across the battleground states, the CBS channel reported.
Trump’s standing among women voters has dropped down significantly, with seven in ten women saying Donald Trump does not respect them.
This CBS News 2016 Battleground Tracker is a panel study based on 4,211 interviews conducted on the internet of registered voters in Nevada, Utah; and North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Michigan, New Hampshire, Ohio, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
Clinton enjoyed five points more of women’s vote last month and now her lead over Trump among women voters has climbed to 15 points – giving her a massive boost about three weeks away from election.
According to the channel’s tracker, Trump was at 84 percent among Republican women then, and has dropped to 77 percent today.
Other factors contributing to the pro-Clinton environment include seventy percent of voters’ view that Trump does not respect women. Of these, seventy-three percent of women and 66 percent of men say that.
In the wake of release of Access Hollywood” tapes, 60 percent of independents find them offensive and 70 percent of women do, acccording to the tracke.
“Nine in ten women who find the tapes offensive, and who were not already for Trump, say they wouldn’t consider Trump now.”
However, Clinton continues to be affected by perceptions about her as only 33 percent believe she tells the truth, and fewer than half of voters feel she has the character required to be president.
