It's been a rough week for Donald Trump campaign volunteers, but they are not throwing in the towel. 
 
"I see him behind a little bit and I'm giving my best to help him out," said Robert Tarczynski from North Miami.
 
Tarczynski drove all the way from North Miami to Trump's campaign office in Boca Raton to volunteer. 
 
"Whatever, whether I have to go door to door, whether I have to answer phones, whether anything, I'm volunteering my time to help out," added Tarczynski. 
 
Before the video leak of Trump making sexually aggressive comments in a 2005 conversation, Politico reports Trump was trailing Hillary Clinton by about 5 points. Now, that's nearly doubled. 
 
"We truly believe in my heart of hearts that the polls are skewed and they are making it seem like it's already done," said Willy Guardiola who runs the non-profit 'Christian on a Mission.' 
 
For the past 6 months Guardiola has been volunteering for Trump's campaign. His mission to get Catholic voters to support Trump has become more challenging after this week. 
 
"Donald Trump is not my role model. He is not my 'Christian on a Mission.' That's my ministry, that's what I do," said Guardiola. "But when you compare what he has said which is again lock room talk compared to what Hillary has done in reference to the abortions and Planned Parenthood and everything, you can't compare."
 
Clinton volunteers are also out in full force, focusing on Palm Beach County. On Tuesday Bill Clinton rallied supporters in Belle Glade. There will also be a phone bank at Clinton's Lake Worth campaign office on Thursday. 
 
Trump will be in Lakeland on Wednesday. He will be rallying in West Palm Beach Thursday at the South Florida Fairgrounds.
