A new PPP Poll shows that a majority of voters want Donald Trump to resign over the allegations by 17 women that he sexually harassed them.
According to Public Policy Polling (PPP), “PPP’s newest national poll finds that a majority of voters think Donald Trump should resign from the Presidency because of the allegations of sexual harassment against him. 53% think Trump should step down to just 42% who think he should remain in office. 53% of voters believe the women who have accused Trump of harassment, to 31% who think they aren’t telling the truth.”
If there is one scandal that is not being reported on as much as Russia that worries this White House, it is the allegations of sexual harassment and sexual assault against Trump. The sexual harassment allegations are a ticking time bomb. In 2016, Trump and the Russians were able to take the focus off of the allegations against him by changing the subject to Hillary Clinton. One of the most shameful acts of the male-dominated mainstream press was that they followed Trump’s lead and ignored the sexual harassment allegations against the Republican nominee.
The White House knows that the allegations will be back if Trump runs for a second term in 2020, but the change in American culture will not allow Trump to change the subject. As president, the election will be about him.

One gets the sense that many voters would like Trump to resign for any reason, but the President isn’t going to skate on the sexual harassment allegations. His day is coming, and that thought is one of many that keep Republicans up late at night.
