Trump falls 10 points behind Biden amid reports he misled Americans about C****-** and disparaged U.S. soldiers

"Donald Trump has fallen further behind Joe Biden following bombshell reports that the president knowingly misled Americans about the dangers of C****-** and privately disparaged dead U.S. soldiers as “suckers” and “losers,” according to a new Yahoo News/YouGov poll.
The survey, which was conducted from Sept. 9 to 11, shows Biden leading Trump by 10 percentage points among registered v**ers, 49 percent to 39 percent. The previous Yahoo News/YouGov poll found Biden ahead by just 6 points immediately after the Republican National Convention.
The results suggest that a week of unrelenting and unflattering revelations about Trump — from the Atlantic report on his alleged contempt for Americans wounded or k**led in war (which appeared on Sept. 3) to Bob Woodward’s recordings of Trump admitting he downplayed the deadliness of C****-** (released on Sept. 9) — has damaged the president’s standing with v**ers.
Asked if their opinion of Trump’s c****av***s response has changed because of Woodward’s big scoop — a tape of Trump privately acknowledging the v***s was “deadly stuff” even as he publicly sought, in his own words, “to play it down”— nearly a quarter of Americans (23 percent) say yes. Even 15 percent of those who v**ed for Trump in 2016 say the Woodward news has changed their mind about the president’s handling of the p******c.
Those might seem like small numbers. But in an age of extreme polarization, they could augur a real shift. Overall, 15 percent of Americans say the Woodward quotes have made them less likely to v**e to reelect the president in November — and a third of these were 2016 Trump supporters.
The military story seems to have had a similar impact. Asked which candidate shows more respect for the military, 50 percent of registered v**ers name Biden, compared to 39 percent for Trump. By the same margin, v**ers say Biden would do a better job leading the military than the current commander in chief.
Reactions to Trump’s reported remarks on the military were predictably partisan, but nearly a quarter of independents (23 percent) say the news increased their support for Biden, compared to just 9 percent who say the news increased their support for Trump. Six percent of 2016 Trump supporters say they have moved toward Biden as a result.
This reflects a larger problem for Trump. Only 1 percent of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 supporters say they will v**e for the president in November. At the same time, 8 percent of Trump’s 2016 supporters say they will v**e for Biden.
Registered v**ers reject Trump — and prefer Biden — on nearly every major issue. For instance, a wide majority of them (57 percent) disapprove of the president’s handling of the p******c; only 40 percent approve. By a 17-point margin (48 percent yes to 31 percent no) v**ers say the current c****av***s situation in the U.S. would be better right now if Biden had been president instead of Trump.
Likewise, only 37 percent of registered v**ers approve of the way the president has handled the Black L***s M****r protests; 54 percent disapprove. In the wake of the protests in Kenosha, Wis., an even larger majority of registered v**ers (57 percent) say Trump “makes things worse” when he talks about race. Just 27 percent say he “makes things better.” By a 15-point margin, v**ers believe that Biden (49 percent) would have handled the Black L***s M****r protests better than Trump (34 percent).
Looking forward, a 10-point plurality thinks that if Biden is elected, there will be less violence of the sort seen in Kenosha (42 percent) rather than more (32 percent). Half as many v**ers believe Biden wants to “abolish the suburbs” (23 percent) — a frequent Trump attack — than believe he wants to do no such thing (46 percent). And a full 61 percent predict there will be more violence if Trump is reelected, while just 20 percent say there will be less.
Before the Atlantic and Woodward stories broke, the nation’s attention was focused on Trump’s push to release a C****-** v*****e before E******n Day — an event that Trump campaign advisers have privately called “the holy grail.”
But the Yahoo News-YouGov poll suggests that even an “October Surprise” v*****e might not save Trump’s ree******n bid. Only 16 percent of registered v**ers think that a v*****e released before E******n Day would be safe; 58 percent believe the opposite. Even more of them (62 percent) say that it’s a bad idea for Trump to push health officials to release a v*****e before the e******n, with just 17 percent saying it’s a good idea.
Sixty percent of v**ers believe Trump’s motivation is political, more than twice the number (27 percent) who believe he wants a v*****e before Nov. 3 for medical reasons. And among undecided v**ers or v**ers who plan to v**e for someone other than Trump, a mere 7 percent say a pre-e******n v*****e would make them more likely to v**e for the president. Five times as many (34 percent) say it would make them less likely to v**e for Trump."
