Although a lot of women seem to like him for some reason.

Donald Trump is winning over women in key primary states, polls show

A poll of “usual Republican voters” in New Hampshire by left-leaning Public Policy Polling (PPP) found Trump attracting 35% support, well beyond that of the runner-up, John Kasich, the Ohio governor, who was on 11%. Trump’s wide lead held among both evangelicals (32%) and women (30%).
