If this does not change over the next three months, Comrade Trump is doomed to less than 40% of the total vote. Nothing has changed in the nine weeks since then.
The Trump-Clinton Gender Gap Could Be The Largest In More Than 60 Years
During a recent speech before the National Rifle Association, Donald Trump wasexplicit about the voters he's reaching out to: "I will say, my poll numbers with men are through the roof, but I like women more than men. Come on, women. Let's go. Come on."
He has every reason to fight for the women's vote. It's a safe bet in any given presidential election these days that women will vote more Democratic than men. This year, given Trump's abysmal poll numbers among women, it looks like an even surer bet than usual.
Since 1980, women have consistently voted more Democratic than men have, and since 1992, they have consistently voted majority-Democratic. Here's how that gender gap breaks down by election. (We used Roper's exit polls back to 1976, and prior to that, we used Gallup's final pre-election polls back to 1952.)
