The gender gap is growing between supporters of President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll of registered voters.
And that’s good news for the Democratic incumbent: Biden holds a slight lead over Trump in Wednesday’s 2024 presidential election poll, 50 percent to 44 percent. The same matchup was “too close to call” just a month ago.
More women said they would support Biden over Trump in this latest survey, with 58 percent backing Biden and 36 percent backing Trump. Last month, the Quinnipiac poll found 53 percent of women supported the incumbent Democrat, compared to 41 percent for the Republican challenger.
The numbers were relatively unchanged for men — 53 percent of men said they’d vote for Trump and 42 percent chose Biden in the latest poll, compared to 51 percent for Biden and 41 percent for Trump in December.
I was not implying otherwise - not intentionally at least. I do think wealth has a lot to do with it. However, there’s also a developing fear of change as people get older (so becoming conservative in the classical sense of the word in terms of not wanting things to change), and if I recall correctly there’s increases in things like religiosity as well. I’m not aware of anyone who looked at the aging effect on things like racism, etc., but I wouldn’t be surprised. My father, who was a Republican, used to say that a conservative was a liberal who’d gotten mugged.
