Poll: 45% of married women are for HRC. Guess how many of their spouses KNOW

[pnwmom]

their wives are voting for HRC?

Only 33% of married men say their wives are voting for Hillary, compared to 45% of married women who say they are.



(And married men are also playing close to the vest, though not as secretive as their wives.)

Either married couples aren't talking politics this election season — or they're in total disbelief their spouse could possibly be voting for that candidate. A YouGov/Economist poll out Monday revealed a considerable discrepancy between whom married registered voters think their spouse is voting for, and whom those married men and women are actually voting for.

While 45 percent of married women said they were voting for Hillary Clinton, only 33 percent of married men responded that their wives would be casting their ballot for the Democratic nominee. Women were a bit more accurate when it came to guessing their spouse's preference, but there was still a gap: While 49 percent of married men said they'd be casting their ballot for Donald Trump, only 41 percent of married women said their spouse was supporting the GOP candidate.

1. I believe the impact of women on this election....

is being grossly underestimated by everyone.

2. They act as if we are not there! Or not enthusiastic. Ugh.

4. or don't mind a little sexual assult from the possible President of the United States.....

7. Seriously - few paid enough attention to call it admission of assault and rapey acts

And even fewer mentioned this shit was directed at women who could lose their livelihood due to that prick.

and secret ballots to help with continued domestic bliss.

8. And African Americans, Latino Americans, Asian Americans,

and LGBTQ Americans.

Trump will not vote with only a majority of white men.

6. As a side note, my Mom didn't tell my step-dad she was voting for Obama

When the election was over, she was surprised to find out...he voted Obama, too!

9. That's funny!

12. That's a cute story

I can't imagine being with someone I couldn't be open about my politics with. My boyfriend and his whole family are conservatives but they know I'm a Democrat voting for Hillary. I don't think it would work if I had to hide, because my politics are a big part of who I am.

17. Mom has gotten more liberal as she's aged

She and her sister both voted Obama after seeing him on Oprah (I kid you not!) My aunt already was more liberal and that probably has an influence as well, but the surprise was my step-dad. No telling what he would think of this election were he still here.

13. Both my daughters and I voted for HRC. My wife did not

My daughters and I are US citizens. My wife is a German citizen (my daughters are, too, but they vote in the USA).

16. I can't believe it's not 95%.

Why any woman, or any POC for that matter, would vote for Trump is beyond my imagination.
