Here is a view of the damage that the tape and the debate did to Trump in Wisconsin:

Friday: Clinton 44%, Trump 38%
Saturday and Sunday: Clinton 49%, Trump 30%— MULawPoll (@MULawPoll) October 12, 2016

Look what happened with female voters in Wisconsin before and after the tape release:
Among female likely voters in WI:
Thursday: Clinton 45%, Trump 36%
Friday: Clinton 60%, Trump 33%
Saturday+Sunday: Clinton 56%, Trump 23%— MULawPoll (@MULawPoll) October 12, 2016
Hillary Clinton went from a nine-point advantage with female voters to a 23 point edge from Thursday through Sunday.
Any Republican who believes that Trump was devastated by the combination of the tape and his decision to dredge up Bill Clinton conspiracies from the 1990s is kidding themselves.
Trump lost support with men and women in Wisconsin, but his support with women is down to 23%. There may be no recovery for Trump in Wisconsin and states that Republicans had hopes of once winning are moving quickly towards Hillary Clinton.
