WASHINGTON _ More women than men say they are now less likely to vote for Donald Trump after a 2005 video depicted him discussing sexually aggressive behavior, according to a new poll.
ABC News and SSRS' "rapid response" survey, released Sunday, polled Americans in the hours immediately following the disclosure of the Trump tape.
More than 40 percent said Trump should drop out of the race, and 57 percent said he should remain the GOP candidate.
The released results did not address existing partisan preferences, so it is difficult to determine whether voters' views are shifting among those who had already made up their minds about Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton.
Voters appeared split over whether Trump's lewd talk would affect their vote, with 53 percent saying they were now less likely to support him and 46 percent saying it would make no difference on their decision.
However, the poll did find a "stark" gender gap, with 62 percent of women less likely to vote for Trump. Meanwhile, 55 percent of men say the comments will make no difference to their vote.
