-The discussion about Trump's personal taxes in the debate has voters thinking several things that could prove very problematic for his ability to make a
comeback in the final 40 days. Only 31% of voters think Trump pays his fair share of federal income taxes, to 52% who think he does not. 46% of voters nationally
think that they personally pay more in federal income taxes than he does, to only 36% who think Trump pays more.
Of course Trump could settle these issues in voters' minds by releasing his tax returns. And 62% of voters think he should do that to only 27% who don't think
it's necessary for him to. But voters have a theory on why Trump might not want to release them: just 35% think Trump is as rich as he says he is.
For the most part when Donald Trump says or does something, his voters go along with it no matter what it is. But his criticism of former Miss Universe Alicia Machado for gaining 'a massive amount of weight' is a step too far even for his core supporters. Overall just 17% of voters think it's acceptable for Trump to criticize her weight, to 65% of voters who say they think it's inappropriate. Even among Trump's voters just 29% stand by him on those comments, to 45% who say he's in the wrong.
DO SOMETHING!
