The gender gap between Trump and Biden has turned into a gender canyon

NBC News

WASHINGTON — For all the recent 2020 focus on young voters, seniors and African-American turnout, don’t forget about the gender gap.

Because our new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll shows that this gap is more like a canyon — and it could very well be President Trump’s biggest disadvantage in November.

Overall, our poll shows Democratic presumptive presidential nominee Joe Biden leading Trump by 7 points among registered voters, 49 percent to 42 percent, which is unchanged from April.

But looking inside of these numbers, Biden is ahead of Trump by 21 points (!!!) among women, 56 percent to 35 percent. That’s compared with Hillary Clinton’s 13-point advantage with women, per the 2016 exit poll.

Of course, YOU guys are already sensible and thoughtful. It's those other guys who are blockheaded, the ones who still somehow support Trump.

21% behind with women. And the poll says Trump just has the barest majority (50%) among men.

Of course, we know some Trump voters are ashamed to say they would vote for him again, so that might not be all that reliable. But it's a good sign, if his biggest fan group is peeling away.
