So How Did Stormy Daniels Impact Opinion of Trump? Not How CNN Hoped.

So has the “Porn Star and the President” media blitz produced the result CNN hoped it would? Depends on if you’re a male or a female, but overall, no, not really.

According to a new Harvard CAP/Harris Poll highlighted by The Hill, the Stormy Daniels affair mania’s impact on Trump’s poll numbers has been a measly 1 point from last month, his overall approval down from 45% to 44%. But even that slight dip is a little misleading; the study found Trump’s numbers up 3 points since December.

When the pollsters dug a little deeper, they found that while the “Stormy Effect” appears to have hurt Trump among women, it actually helped him among men. Trump’s support among women over the last month dropped 6 points from 41% to 35%; during the same time, however, support among men rose 3 points from 50% to 53%.

Mark Penn, co-director of the poll, is certain that this “gender polarization” has a lot do with Trump’s alleged affair with Stormy. “This poll was taken right after the Stormy Daniels interview and so I think this increased gender polarization is the ‘Stormy Effect,'” he said.

While Penn and his polling group saw a subtle decline in overall support for Trump, Rasmussen’s daily presidential tracking poll Monday had nothing but good news for the president, suggesting that, if anything, the media pornstorm might’ve given Trump a boost.
