"For more than four decades, national and many state elections in the U.S. typically have a shown significant gender gap in voting - often 10 points or more, with men favoring Republicans and women backing Democrats. That two Democratic women running for governor could virtually eliminate that gender gap in their states was a "pleasant surprise" for the party Tuesday, one Democratic strategist told Axios."
"Spanberger and Sherrill won nearly every age demographic in their elections, exit polls showed. In several areas, Trump's immigration policies appeared to cut into gains Republicans have made among Latinos in recent elections. Both Spanberger and Sherrill got more than two-thirds of the Latino vote in their states, CNN's polls showed. In predominantly Hispanic areas of New Jersey, Sherrill soared. She had the best showing of any Democrat in Hudson County, N.J., in more than a decade."
Two Democratic women running for governor virtually eliminated the longstanding gender gap in their states, reversing decades of men favoring Republicans and women backing Democrats. Spanberger and Sherrill won nearly every age demographic, while New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani energized voters 29 and younger. Trump's immigration policies appeared to erode recent Republican gains among Latino voters. Both Spanberger and Sherrill received more than two-thirds of the Latino vote, and Sherrill posted the strongest Democratic showing in Hudson County, N.J., in over a decade. Republicans called the results a limited snapshot, while Democrats cited similar gains in other states, including Mississippi and California.
