Historically, women in the United States are more likely to vote Democrat and men are more likely to vote Republican. This year could happen Gender gap According to surveys, increase significantly. Will we see a “women versus men” election on November 5th, Ms. Dittmar?
Well, on the one hand, the polls reflect the continuation of a decades-long trend. Since 1980, we have observed that women are more likely to vote for Democrats and men for Republicans in presidential elections. In the last election the gender gap was around eleven or twelve points. Today we see polls in the same area with a maximum difference of 15 points. On the other hand, the gap becomes clearer when you look more closely at individual groups. For example, we see that college-educated white women have moved further to the left since 2016, while non-college-educated white women overwhelmingly vote Republican. The generation gap is even greater than the educational gap. In Generation Z, young women vote for Harris and young men vote for Trump.
