The latest United States presidential poll in the race to win the Electoral College -- and, hence, the U.S. presidency -- again shows Democrat Hillary Clinton with an insurmountable lead over Republican Donald Trump.
If the election were held this week, Clinton's odds of securing the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win the presidency stands at more than 95 percent. She also leads Trump by a margin of 118 Electoral College votes, according to the latest results from the Reuters/Ipsos States of the Nation project released Oct. 15.
The project also showed Trump behind by double-digits among women and all minority groups.
He trails by nearly 70 points among black voters. His support is almost entirely dependent on his loyal base of white voters without college degrees. Trump's support among white men is strong but is paltry among white women.
This is the second week in a row Clinton has shown such high odds, and comes at a time Trump is having to deal with the massive backlash from allegations by nine women (at last count) who said he either groped them or made lewd advances towards them over the past decade.
The Reuters/Ipsos results mirror other Electoral College projections, some of which estimate Clinton's chance of winning at some 90 percent.
Over the last week, the Trump campaign struggled to respond to the allegations from Trump's victims. Trump said the reports were lies and part of a media conspiracy to steal the election from him.
All of the allegations surfaced after The Washington Post disclosed a video from 2005 of Trump describing how he tried to seduce a married woman. Trump also bragged in vulgar terms how his celebrity status allowed him to kiss and grope women without their permission.
In another poll, Clinton led Trump 47 percent to 43 percent among likely voters in a four-way race, said the latest ABC News/Washington Post national poll. Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson trails with five percent and the Green Party's Jill Stein is at two percent.
In the previous ABC/Post poll taken before the Sept. 26 debate, Clinton led Trump 46 percent to 44 percent. The new poll continues to show bad numbers for Trump just three weeks before Election Day on Nov. 8.
Nearly 70 percent said they believe that Trump "made unwanted sexual advances toward women," a startling number that comes after the publication of lewd comments Trump made in 2005 that were caught on a hot mic.
