his campaign so far. but trump has come back from a lot of bad publicity before. but a lot of anger about his abortion comments even from anti-abortion advocates. does this fade away or continue to hurt him? >> i think this one hurts for a long time to come. what he's been trying to do is appeal to non-party identified voters, especially democrats which he would need to win in the fall. and this level of total political unawareness and even misogyny i think will hurt him. >> shawna, obviously he is the front-runner. if he gets the nomination talk to us what we know in terms of the polls how he'll stack up against hillary clinton or bernie sanders in a general election. >> so, right now what we're seeing is that either of them look like they could beat him in a general election. the polls are fluctuating now because it is not a realistic enough proposition for good

polling data right now. and because we still have trump and even to some extent kasich in the race it's hard for people who are in the gop to have made a final choice yet. i don't think we can trust the polling data exactly. but i do think that with his recent comments this week and particularly the gender comments and about abortion he will have a hard time beating particularly a woman in the general election. >> still relatively early in the process, shawna, thanks for being here today. >> thank you for having me. lester holt is joining us from the nbc studios in new york city. >> what's coming up on nightly news? >> we're gathering late details on the deadly shootout at a virginia bus station that sent people fleeing and left a trooper badly wounded. the stars of the women's soccer team are calling for equal pay. and frozen in time, how couples are donating embryos left from

in the 60s, some spots could be in the upper 50s north and west. we could see light rain showers try to move in overnight tonight. locally though, no rain, not yet. just overcast skies. the closest rain is to our west now starting to move into maryland but the brunt of all of this wet weather, that's going to be here tomorrow so. what you see moving into ohio and down through parts of the south, that's our rain for tomorrow. and some of that could be starting as early as the morning commute for you. so here's a look at future weather tonight. we keep seeing the clouds move in, some light showers possible, overnight tonight, then for the morning commute here's 8:00 in the morning. so if you leave at 8:00, through the lee high value and the poconos you could see showers around, some could be thunderstorms for the rest of the area, temperatures around 70 degrees, a chance of showers, and then as we get closer to lunch time a chance for thunderstorms, temperatures warming into mid-70s. we could have a line trying to

form through the lehigh valley but we'll be watching that closely. even by 4:00 p.m. tomorrow we could have a line of showers, maybe thunderstorms moving through thor a and into new jersey before we finally start to clear out. more as we go into your friday evening. so friday evening, looking better than the first half of the day friday. then we go into saturday, here's 5:00 saturday morning we have rain, then it will move back into new jersey and delaware so the best chance of saturday morning rain will lie south of philadelphia, 9:00 a.m. saturday you still see the rain in new jersey and delaware, then we finally do start to clear out more as we go into your sunday. that's when temperatures will start to drop off. for tonight, 57 for the low in allentown, 60 in pottstown. 62 philadelphia. we're going to be mild overnight. mild and windy we could see a chance of some late showers, moisture overnight. then tomorrow, that rain chance is going to be increasing especially starting with the morning commute into the middle of the day, around lunch time. temperatures from 76 to possibly
