CBS Poll: HRC +4 Ohio, +4 WI, +8 PA

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/poll-gender-gap-in-views-on-trumps-2005-tape/

Hillary Clinton leads in the key state of Ohio by four points (46 percent to 42 percent) and in Pennsylvania by a wider eight point gap (48 percent to 40 percent), a state that seems critical to Donald Trump’s electoral hopes. And Clinton also is ahead in Wisconsin 43 percent to 39 percent.

That polling was done prior to the news about Donald Trump’s comments on the videotape. Then respondents in Ohio and Pennsylvania were recontacted Friday night and Saturday, and were asked about the videotape. Eight in ten had either seen it or heard about it.

Slight majorities in each state, 54 percent in Ohio and 51 percent in Pennsylvania, said the tape did not change their view of Trump, while 44 percent in Ohio and 47 percent in Pennsylvania said it made them think worse of Trump, though most in the latter groups were not supporting him beforehand. There is a gender gap on this: in Pennsylvania, women are more likely than men to say it makes their view of Trump worse, by 53 percent to 42 percent.
