"Donald Trumps troubled campaign has seen an incredible exodus in support over the past week. After footage released last week showed him bragging about groping women, more than a dozen members of Congress withdrew their endorsements. Others, whod previously stayed neutral in the race, called for the Republican presidential nominee to drop out.
But despite the wave of high-profile defections, the bulk of the GOP is sticking with Trump ― a man who, besides being accused of sexual assault, has publicly trashed the party, disparaged its members, broken with many of its most cherished political planks and shattered its attempts to win over minorities and women.
As of Thursday, TIME magazine found that 72 percent of Republican officeholders were still supporting Trump to some extent.

Of course, we won't really know until late November 8 or early November 9.
