Donald Trump is winning over women in key primary states, polls show

http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/aug/25/donald-trump-women-voters-key-primary-states-polls

New polls conducted in the key early-primary states New Hampshire and South Carolina show the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump not only with large leads over the rest of the GOP field, but with robust support among groups that had not previously shown strong backing for him, such as evangelical Christians and women.

The numbers arrived just as Trump let loose with fresh attacks on Republican rivals, including the former Florida governor Jeb Bush, and on media figures, including Fox News host Megyn Kelly.

In a continuation of a feud with Kelly that began at the first presidential debate, when she asked him about his past “disparaging comments about women’s looks”, Trump disparaged Kelly’s appearance on Twitter on Monday night, retweeting a post that said Kelly had returned to her show after a hiatus “looking like Nancy Grace”, the legal commentator.

He also retweeted a message referring to Kelly as a “bimbo”, as he has done before.
