More Republicans now think Democrat Hillary Clinton will win the presidency than Donald Trump, as their party's candidate struggles with difficulties including allegations of sexual misconduct and his suggestion he may not honor the outcome of the election.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Wednesday and conducted from Oct. 20 to Oct. 24 found that 41 percent of Republicans expected Clinton to win the Nov. 8 election, versus 40 percent who picked Trump.

That reflected a sharp decline in confidence from last month, when 58 percent of Republicans said they thought their party's nominee would win, versus 23 percent who expected Clinton to prevail.

Among Trump's supporters, 49 percent in the latest poll said they believed Trump would win, down from 67 percent who felt that way at the beginning of the month.

1. Good reason for them to stay home on Election Day. nt

2. With that defeatist attitude, many won't bother voting

which ruins their chances in downticket races. We need to win the Senate and as many house seats and state/local seats as possible

make America liberal again!

3. So they choose Trump *AND* they believe he's going to win??

4. Could be because we have "GAME" and they don't.

We're enthusiastic about our candidate and their candidates really should be locked up.

We have GOTV GROUND GAME and I'm on that team. Fired up!!!

Good-bye GOP. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
