Women’s Heavy Disapproval Of Trump May Not Cut So Deep Against GOP In 2018 Midterms

Most American women dislike the job that President Trump is doing. Many demonstrated it by marching in the streets by the tens of thousands on the first anniversary of his inauguration, and they continue to register it in public opinion polls, giving the president a starkly lower approval rating than men do.

As November approaches, Republican candidates will have the president’s low approval numbers in mind as they decide whether they want his support: Will they want him to stump for them? To appear in ads? To record robocalls? GOP candidates for Congress may well find themselves wondering: Do I have the same troubles with women voters as the president does? CONT.
