inappropriate behavior? >> it's not important to me whether she was assaulted. how do i know what happened? and i'm not even going to go there. it's a campaign. i have to say, it's a campaign to annihilate mr. trump. and mr. trump is the only one getting back to the issues. who cares about these women? i don't know their background, you don't know their background, i don't want to know. what i do know is that mr. trump is only doing this for one because he loves america. >> reporter: a new poll showing 68% of women believe donald trump probably has made unwanted sexual aadvances towards women. but two-thirds of registered voters male and female say the 11-year-old "access hollywood" tape does not affect their vote. >> at times men can be a little blustery and donald is an alpha male. he definitely is. and i've always had dogs that are alpha. so i think i know how to handle
