Donald Trump campaign insists that women are voting for Republican nominee to be president

Despite a slew of sexual assault allegations, lewd comments, jokes and feuds with women, the Donald Trump train has insisted that he has more support among women than the polls suggest.

"Women are very enthusiastic about voting for Donald Trump. I know that there are polls out there that suggest otherwise, but I’ll tell you, I’m on the ground. I see it every single day," Lara Trump, wife of the candidate’s son, Eric, told Fox News.

"Women are coming up to me and saying, ‘every woman I know is voting for Donald Trump.’ Women are highly offended that a candidate like Hillary Clinton thinks that she gets our vote simply because we are the same gender she is," she added.

A Fox News poll showed that 51 per cent of women voters prefer Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, compared to just 38 per cent for Mr Trump.

His eldest daughter, Ivanka Trump, has consistently denied claims that her father mistreated women, or her, saying that he had always promoted women within the real estate industry and he was “not a groper”.

A leaked video from 2005 showed the real estate mogul bragging about how he could do anything he wanted with women as he was a “star”, including grabbing them by the genitals.

Mr Trump has denied all allegations of assault. A lawsuit alleging the Republican of child rape was dropped last week, but the speculation and legal battles have haunted his campaign.

He said that "no one respects women more than I do" at the third presidential debate.

The Republican promised to sue his accusers, plus publications that printed the allegations, once the election was over.

Lara Trump, who put her job as producer on hold as she campaigned for her father in law, told Fox that it was incredible that he was "neck and neck" with Ms Clinton in many states.

Yet the latest poll from NBC and The Wall Street Journal showed Ms Clinton to have a four-point lead over her rival, chiefly thanks to the women's vote.

Mr Trump is flying around the country on the last day before the election, persuading his supporters to cast their ballots for him.

Starting his day in Florida, he will travel to North Carolina, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and Michigan before holding what he describes as a "victory party" in New York on Tuesday.
