i voted for trump in 2016.
president trump i love him women for
trump
i did great with him in 2016
donald trump claimed he won the female
vote
that he got more votes from women than
the first female presidential candidate
from a major party women women women
we're doing very well with the women but
did he you know i got 52
with women everyone said this couldn't
happen and if so could he do it again
this year tell me a little more about
your
emilia thompson devoe has written
extensively on women and polls
so after the last election trump claimed
publicly that he had won
female voters is that correct in 2016
slightly more white women seemed to have
voted for trump
than voted for clinton um it was a
narrow margin
he did not win women of color exit polls
which trump based his claims on can be
unreliable but research
in 2018 by the pew research center found
that 47
of white women voted for trump and only
45
for clinton but why i'm 64 today
and happy birthday thank you
i just was sitting here filling out my
ballot
so why did you vote for trump in 2016. i
am a lifelong republican i didn't like
hillary either
i was kind of angry at the whole
political system for giving us such
two terrible choices i voted for trump
in 2016
because he said he had a plan to have
mexico pay for the wall
and i lived in southern california at
the time i voted for trump
because hillary was demonized
in the alternative media she looked sick
and iffy and i heard that she went to
the dark side
and why does this matter because women
in the u.s
are a crucial voting bloc they vote more
than men
and they vote differently you can almost
pinpoint it to an exact election
the 1980 election when the republican
party
took a very right hard right turn on a
number of different issues
women just tend to be much more in favor
of
a robust social safety net polls suggest
white women
are changing their minds about trump
giving biden
the biggest lead among women of any
candidate in history
the gender gap has been expanding for a
you know few decades but really from
2016 to 2020 we're just seeing it
explode and in some ways it's even
overtaking
race as a predictor of vote
this man is the leader of our country
he's the commander-in-chief
and we can't believe a word he says i'm
watching him
refuse to take any responsibility for
this pandemic it just how he was
mishandling it and i'm like
did this separating
families at the border that did it for
me
i'm just a little suburban grandmother
you know
not with a lot of power but i he makes
me scared he wouldn't
know he was suburb unless he took a
wrong turn oh i know celebrations
a majority are supporting biden there's
a quite a big gender gap
um so suburban white men are
disproportionately supporting trump
my sons are trump supporters and one of
them
is currently not speaking to me right
now because
of opinions i posted on my facebook page
wow
there are big divisions among white
women too most clearly
along the lines of education polls
suggest biden has gained most ground
among women with a college degree
it's important not to paint with a broad
brush you know there are plenty of white
women with college degrees who are going
to vote for trump
women for trump it's important and this
is the election that will make the
difference i think that he's pro-life
we're pro-life we care about every life
no matter
what color what gender what
sexual orientation i see the enthusiasm
and i see
um you know people's loyalty to our
country and our president
polls are just predictions they're not
always accurate
and people can change their minds right
up to november 3rd
the contest for women in this election
will be fiercely fought
you
