Trump Faces Growing Gender Gap

September 16, 2015 · 3:00 pm ET · 32 Comments

Morning Consult: “Trump’s support is increasingly based on a growing gender gap, one that has become more pronounced throughout the summer. Today, 42% of men who identify as Republicans or Republican-leaning independents say they back Trump, versus 25% of women voters. In late August, the gender gap between men and women backing Trump stood at 9 percentage points.”

“Women have always been more skeptical of the mogul and reality television star than men. Trump’s favorable rating among Republican men stands at 67%; among Republican women, it is just 51%.”
