Lewd tape sends Trump’s numbers into tailspin

Donald Trump’s sexually aggressive comments sent his presidential campaign into a nosedive this past weekend, according to polls conducted in the 48-hour period between the release of an 11-year-old video of Trump bragging about groping women and Sunday night’s second presidential debate.

As of Wednesday afternoon, a handful of state and national polls that were in the field when The Washington Post first released the Trump video — have been released.

Poll: Clinton leads Trump by 9 in Pennsylvania

With Donald Trump’s campaign struggling to stay afloat nationally under the weight of yet another round of controversy, a new Bloomberg poll puts Hillary Clinton 9 percentage points ahead of the Manhattan billionaire in the crucial swing state of Pennsylvania.

The former secretary of state leads Trump 51 percent to 42 percent among likely Pennsylvanian voters in a head-to-head matchup between the two candidates.

Labor unions and Tom Steyer to spend $60 million to mobilize progressive voters for presidential and down-ballot races

For Our Future, a progressive super PAC, has raised $60 million to continue work toward its goal of mobilizing 9.5 million African American, Latino and millennial voters in several battleground states before Election Day.

The super PAC is focusing on personal contact with voters, funding grass-roots groups to knock on doors rather than buying up radio and television airtime, in Florida, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Believe it or not, North Carolina residents have been voting for a month already.

In-person early voting starts October 20, but absentee voting is well underway and an early pattern has emerged that doesn’t bode well for Donald Trump, or down-ballot Republicans.

Labor giant SEIU pumps resources into anti-Trump effort

Donald Trump’s path to the presidency requires his brand of protectionism to drive union members to abandon Democrats, but new data provided to POLITICO shows that a huge part of organized labor – the service industry – isn’t following suit.

In November, Donald Trump could become the first Republican presidential nominee to lose Orange County, California, since 1936. He could also be the first to lose Virginia Beach, Virginia, since 1964. But he could simultaneously become the first Republican to win an electoral vote from Maine since 1988 and only the second Republican to carry Iowa since 1984.

Poll: Trump falls into tie with Clinton among Utah voters

Republican Donald Trump appears to have, in his earlier words, “a tremendous problem in Utah” as a new poll shows him slipping into a dead heat with Democrat Hillary Clinton since crude comments he made about women surfaced last weekend.

And along with the billionaire businessman’s sudden fall, independent candidate and BYU graduate Evan McMullin surged into a statistical tie with the two major party presidential nominees, according to survey conducted Monday and Tuesday by Salt Lake City-based Y2 Analytics.
