Most Voters Think Trump Had Affair With Stormy Daniels; Supporters Still Back Him

In a Morning Consult/Politico survey, conducted in the two days immediately following CBS’ March 25 "60 Minutes" interview with Daniels in which she provided new details surrounding the alleged 2006 tryst, 56 percent of respondents said they believe Trump had an affair with the adult film actress, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford. Nine percent disagreed.

Thirty-five percent said they were unsure whether the affair happened, driven largely by 54 percent of Republican voters who said they didn't know or had no opinion.

Among all voters, 42 percent approved of Trump’s job performance in the new survey, while 53 percent disapproved -- a negative 4 point net swing from the previous week. As a point of comparison, weekly polling shows Trump's net approval slid 9 percentage points in the immediate aftermath of last year's deadly protests in Charlottesville, Va.

The share of voters who said the Daniels matter did not make much difference either way in their opinion of the president rose to a 46 percent plurality from a 39 percent plurality two weeks ago.

The most recent poll was conducted March 26-27 among a national sample of 1,997 registered voters. The survey has a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points.
