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.
Gen Xer checking in, and anecdotally: conservatives have always seemed like very, very creepy weirdos. Failed, milquetoastian supervillain wannabes who went to church but were super the devil. I’ve never understood how so many get sucked in with crocodile tears and pearl clutching. 10 year old me in 1986 hated their fake asses and I still do today, with burning, searing intensity. I think it’s the disingenuousness that is so odious to me, especially used in service of a deeply evil agenda.
