Trump trails Clinton by 8 points after tape scandal, debate: Reuters/Ipsos poll

Trump trails Clinton by 8 points after tape scandal, debate: Reuters/Ipsos poll
By Chris Kahn | NEW YORK Tue Oct 11, 2016 | 6:38pm EDT

Donald Trump has fallen further behind Hillary Clinton and now trails her by 8 points among likely voters, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll, with 1 in 5 Republicans saying his vulgar comments about groping women disqualify him from the presidency.

The national tracking poll was launched after Sunday night's second presidential debate, where Trump was pressed to explain his comments in a 2005 videotape about grabbing women's genitalia. He described the remarks, which first surfaced on Friday, as "locker room" banter and apologized to Americans.

The poll released on Tuesday showed Clinton, the Democratic nominee, had increased her lead over Trump, the Republican nominee, to 8 percentage points on Monday from 5 points last week.

Trump's actions towards women, the lack of respect and his indicating he is entitled.
