Trump's giant gender gap: 62 percent of women say they are unlikely to vote for him

I don't think our country would survive another term of this creep.

In a new poll, a significant majority of American women who are registered to vote say they are not likely to support President Trump’s re-election effort in 2020, setting him up with a gender gap that may prove difficult to overcome.

In a June 1-2 Hill-HarrisX survey, 62 percent of female registered voters said they were unlikely to support Trump’s bid to obtain a second term. Fifty-three percent said they were very unlikely to back Trump while 9 percent said they were somewhat unlikely. Thirty-eight percent of women who participated said they were likely to back Trump.

In the 2016 election, exit polls indicated that 41 percent of women who voted chose Trump meaning that he has likely lost some support from women during his presidency.


The survey found that male voters were more evenly split about re-electing the president with 51 percent of respondents saying they were either somewhat or very likely to support him and 49 percent saying they were somewhat or very unlikely to support Trump, within the poll’s 3.1 percent sampling margin of error.

A majority of women of all age groups said they would decline to support Trump while men’s opinions differed based upon their ages. A 57 percent majority of men between 18 and 34 said they were unlikely to support Trump while a narrow majority of men 35 and up, 54 percent, said they were likely to support the president.

When both sexes are combined, 56 percent of all registered voters said they would be unlikely to back Trump's re-election while 44 percent said they would be likely to.

Long-term polling from the Pew Research Center and others has indicated that women have been more favorable to the Democratic Party but Trump's particular style has accelerated the trend. A large-scale sample the Center conducted in 2018 found that a majority of women identify as Democrats or are independents who lean toward the party.....................................

Specifically whether Trump's support among specifically white women has declined significantly since he won a majority of white female voters in 2016.

Have heard two things along the way. Treatment of kids at border and undignified and ugly tweeting. That said, still wish Twitter would close his account. That would turn his world upside down.
