Exploring the widening gender gap in the 2024 elections

WASHINGTON (TNND) — The 2024 elections have been described in many respects as “historic”, “virtually connected” and a “gender-sensitive election”.

“As a half-Caucasian, half-African-American woman, I want to be heard and I want to make sure my vote counts,” New York voter Deanna Davis told WHAM.

During a Trump rally in Pennsylvania, Isaac Tanksley said that despite his parents raising him as a Democrat, he is a supporter of former President Donald Trump.

“These Democrats have done nothing for us,” he said.

A recent CBS YouGov poll conducted October 23-25 ​​revealed a divide that many are seeing firsthand.

This foundthat 55% of women and 45% of men support Vice President Kamala Harris, while 54% of men and 43% of women support Trump.

The Supreme Court’s reversal of the Dobbs ruling in Roe v. Wade is cited as one main reason why so many women support harris.

Meanwhile, men often refer to issues such as economics, power and division playing in swing states like Georgia.

In a Wednesday interview on MSNBC, Patricia Murphy, political columnist for the Atlanta Journal Constitution, said:

“This is the first presidential election since Georgia’s six-week abortion ban went into effect. ​​I think it’s a confusion with what we think women will do. With very high turnout in Republican districts. But of course we don’t know exactly how all voters will choose. There’s a big gender gap in this state right now, but that really counts in Donald Trump’s favor. He is increasing his male-to-male numbers so much that Kamala Harris has some catching up to do by relying on women, she really needs these women to prove themselves.”

Meanwhile, former President Barack Obama recently chided the men who are part of this change.

“I talk directly to men,” he said. “Some of it feels good to me. You just don’t feel like there will be a woman president.”

In Tuesday interview on Fox NewsFormer South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley gave Donald Trump and his campaign the following advice:

“This is not the time to be too masculine with this bromance they are having. 53% of the electorate are women. Women will vote. They care about how they are talked to and they care about problems.”
