Voters are divided on whether what Trump said in that recording is, as he put it, "typical locker room talk." About 4-in-10 (39%) agree with Trump that most men say these kinds of things while a similar 40% say few men actually engage in this type of "banter." There is a huge split in opinion based on which candidate voters are supporting. The vast majority of Clinton backers (66%) say that few men use this type of language, including 69% of men and 64% of women who support Clinton. This result is flipped on its head among voters who support Trump - 69% say most men actually talk like this, including 69% of men and 69% of women who back Trump.
"This is a chicken and egg problem. Is Trump's base really comprised almost entirely of voters who engage in or condone the kind of sexually aggressive language he used? Or are his voters constructing a post hoc defense of Trump to rationalize their continued support of him? It's really not clear, but either way it speaks to the divisiveness that has characterized this election," said Murray.
