Donald Trump would need to stage a historic comeback to win the White House in 20 days as key slices of the electorate drift away from his candidacy, according to the latest Bloomberg Politics national poll.

Democrat Hillary Clinton leads Trump by 9 percentage points in the survey of likely voters, taken after a leaked video prompted a series of women to come forward alleging the Republican made unwanted sexual advances.

They built their party on the easy marks. Now their carnival is reprehensible to even the most gullible? Who knew this could happen?

Has the corporate propaganda monopoly finally derailed? Has the state of political delusion ruptured?

Is it possible the USA might once again become a reality-based society?
