Another historic gender gap is likely
as Trump flails with women in polls
Donald Trump owes his presidency in large part to men, and especially white men, who decisively backed him over Hillary Clinton four years ago even as a majority of women voted for her. But it’s women who appear to be on his mind as he contemplates national polls that show him consistently eight percentage points or more behind Democrat Joe Biden, driven in large part by Trump’s deficit with female voters.
When Trump won in 2016, it was with the support of 52 percent of men but just 41 percent of women, according to exit polls — an 11-point gender gap that was tied for the largest by a presidential candidate in four decades. Polls suggest this year the gap could be even larger.
