They should be even like for everyone else. You really can argue that it suggest sexism.

With regard to Clinton, some of that skewing could be the result of reverse sexism, where she's being supported as a result of her gender.

Why do white men love Republicans in such large numbers? I have never understood that.

And they are not going to relinquish any of it to minorities of any kind, including women. I agree with you @bettyellen; they have nothing to be proud of.

Notice how the women's "unfavorables" are fairly consistent with a small portion not thrilled with Hillary and Rubio, a few more creeped out by Cruz and then a massive revulsion to Trump; arguably the worst candidate to ever run for the Presidency. You see a nearly identical trend with men's dislike of Cruz and Rubio but then shockingly, a reversed reaction to Hillary and Trump.

Really, white men? Speaks volumes. I think the demographics broke the same way in the 2008 election of Obama.
