Donald Trumps support in Michigan is showing signs of collapse as Democrat Hillary Clinton widens her lead to nearly 12 percentage points in a new statewide poll released to The Detroit News and WDIV.
Clinton led Trump 42.2 percent to 30.6 percent in a four-way poll of 600 likely state voters conducted after the second debate Sunday night. It followed last weekends GOP crisis over a decade-old recording of Trump making sexually aggressive comments about women.
When asked, 1 in 4 Republicans surveyed said their billionaire nominee should drop out of the presidential race. .............................
He is continuing to hemorrhage support..................
The Monday-Tuesday poll reveals a lurking tsunami out there for the Republicans running for Congress, the Michigan House of Representatives and other local offices, said Czuba, president of the Lansing-based Glengariff Group.
................................
Among all women, Clinton holds a nearly 2-to-1 advantage, 48 percent to Trumps 24.6 percent, a historically low amount of support from female voters, he said.

(70,242 posts)I barely hear anything about enthusiasm last several weeks.
..........................Voters were asked to rank their enthusiasm on a scale of 1 to 10. Strong Republican voters scored an average of 5.3, while strong Democrats clocked in at 6.7 percent.
Czuba said he has never seen such a wide enthusiasm gap between the two parties.
Typically the two bases track very close to each other in their motivation, he said. And thats not happening anymore. A lot of people are becoming disgusted by this election.
Hoekstra said Trump can reverse his decline by contrasting his policies on immigration, the economy, renegotiating international trade pacts and combating the Islamic State terror group.

(82,383 posts)it is way too late for Don the Con to reverse his decline. And certainly not in the way Hoekstra describes, as that is beyond the Talking Yam's abilities.

(70,242 posts)I am sure he is spoon feeding Donald with its content.

(50,950 posts)And Johnson becomes eligible for the last debate. But if that happened it might result in voters thinking Trump isn't that bad after all.
