seventy-one percent of single Democratic Party voters said they are very unlikely to even consider dating a person who voted for Republican Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election, a new survey finds.

The Pew Research Center study revealed the country's widening partisan divide has bled into Americans' dating habits, with 45 percent of Democrats or left-leaning voters outright declaring they "definitely would not" pursue a relationship with a Trump voter. That share is more than double the 19 percent of Republicans or right-leaning respondents who said they "definitely would not" date someone who voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016. And based purely on party lines, 43 percent of Democrats said they would not likely date anyone who is a Republican, compared to just 24 percent of Republicans who said the same of their liberal counterparts.

The multi-layered Pew survey of nearly 5,000 "single-and-looking" Americans showed that members of both parties were more likely to romantically write-off a person who voted for Trump or Clinton in 2016 rather than someone who simply identified as a member of the opposite party. Only 4 percent of Democrat-leaning voters admitted they had previously dated a Trump voter, and only 4 percent of Republican-leaning voters conceded the same about dating a Clinton voter.

1. I'd rather be alone than bother with a Trump voter.

Look at how abusive and violent and selfish and incredibly stupid they are. It would be a recipe for disaster, guaranteed to end up as an abusive relationship.

[SunSeeker]

2. Could never date a Trumper. Sex would be impossible. I'd be throwing up the whole time.

3. Other than work, I avoid them like the plague.

Because they are one.

[Historic NY]

4. I need someone with a brain not a golden calf worshiper.

[Blasphemer]

5. 71% seems kinda low to me...

A Romney voter? A Jeb Bush voter? Sure, I could imagine that. We might be able to have some interesting conversations about health care and immigration reform. Trump? That is a whole 'nother level of disconnect. Instead of peeking at their medicine cabinet, I'd be busy looking for hidden confederate flags.

[Mars and Minerva]

6. I don't date out of my species either! nt

[Hermit-The-Prog]

8. Which aliens did we piss off so bad that they dumped GOPers on us?

[mr_lebowski]

7. Considering I wouldn't piss on one of them if they were on fire ...

(okay there's a handful of people I know personally who I would, but ... it's a very small group)

9. I'd think it would be tough just to be friends with someone who was so deluded

We read here all the time about those who are having serious issues with family members.

11. What would be safe topics?

You could not even mention COVID-19.

[Rhiannon12866]

12. And that's all anyone is taking about these days

I even had a conversation about it with the kid who was working at the gas station the last time I was there, since we both were wearing masks. I honestly can't imagine what topic would be safe given the news these days since it's impossible to ignore...

10. I'm not sure if there's an offset to that.

No matter how good looking, how wild in bed, how great of a cook, how decent of a person they are otherwise, I couldn’t imagine being in a romantic relationship with a Тяцмр supporter. It would ruin everything.

[smirkymonkey]

13. I could never, ever date a Trump voter.

I can't even be friends with a Trump voter. I just have no respect for them at all. In fact, I despise them.

[JI7]

15. yup, that alone is a huge turn off

[JI7]

14. Most Trump Voters are Straight White Men

and the Trump voting women tend to already be married . So there wouldn't be many available women to date if they just stuck to "their kind".

I noticed this with gay men years ago . The republican/conservative ones would be open to dating democratic/liberal men and even complain about the dem/liberal men refusing to date conservatives.

While the liberal/democratic men would be less likely to date conservatives.

What I am now noticing is a bunch of right wing leaning types looking for women in other countries because american/western women are "ruined with feminism" . Usually they go to Poorer eastern european and poorer asian countries.

16. I feel bad for those foreign women who end up hooking up with these men

These Con Men will end up ruining them with their bullshit

[beachbumbob]

17. I rid myself of all association with trump voters and supporters more than 3 years ago

I wished them all well and hoped they would seek some mental health counseling.

[Victor_c3]

18. I've noticed that quite a bit since my wife left me two years ago

I’ve dated a few women in that time.

It’s not a problem finding single women though, I wouldn’t date a trump supporter either.
