Poll: Women propel Hillary Clinton into battleground lead over Donald Trump

Poll: Women propel Hillary Clinton into battleground lead over Donald Trump
By ANTHONY SALVANTO CBS NEWS October 16, 2016, 8:45 AM

A big swing in the women’s vote has propelled Hillary Clinton into a six-point lead across the battleground states, as seven in ten women feel Donald Trump does not respect them.

Last month the women’s vote in these key states was five points more for Clinton; today it is 15 points in Clinton’s favor – accounting for most of the swing, overall - and it even outweighs partisanship. Trump was at 84 percent among Republican women then, and has dropped to 77 percent today.
