Donald Trump's strongest supporters — white males — appear to be turning their backs on the Republican presidential nominee, The New York Times reports.
The reason?
"It appears that after a ceaseless stream of provocations, insults and reckless remarks, Mr. Trump has damaged himself significantly with the one demographic that stands as a bulwark to a Clinton presidency," The Times' Jeremy Peters reports.
In addition, Trump has not tried to appeal "more broadly" to African-Americans, Hispanics and other minority groups which could further damage his chances against Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, according to the Times.
A new national poll released Friday by the liberal End Citizens United group shows Clinton leading Trump by 10 points nationally.
But a new Pew Research Center poll has Clinton at 41 percent to Trump's 37 percent.
