Men and women have long voted differently in presidential races, with the gender gap averaging 19 points in exit polls since 1996. Pollsters brace for a "gender chasm" this year due to the contrast of a man and a woman on the ballot, especially with abortion rights being a significant issue post-Roe v. Wade.
Harris has a 7-point advantage among women in Georgia, receiving 53% support compared to Trump’s 46%. However, she lags behind Joe Biden’s numbers from 2020, where Biden led by 9 points, highlighting the challenges women candidates face even with key issues like reproductive rights.
In North Carolina, preliminary results indicate women support Harris by 13 points while men favor Trump by 15 points. This contrasts significantly with the voting patterns observed in previous elections and underscores how shifting demographics influence outcomes.
Among younger voters aged 18 to 29, women are swinging for Harris by 29 points. Trump only manages a 2-point advantage among men in the same age group, showing a critical generational divide that both campaigns may need to address in their strategies.
