… President Donald Trump has a history of making vulgar remarks about women (such as in the infamous Access Hollywood tape). On Thursday, he poked fun at the #MeToo movement. Comments like these are why it’s not too surprising that the 2016 presidential election featured the largest gender gap on record.
The question for the midterm elections is whether there will also be a large difference between female and male voting patterns without Trump or Hillary Clinton (the first woman major party nominee) on the ballot.
The polling suggests that there will be.
If the average of polling since June holds through November, 2018 will have the largest gender gap on record for a midterm election since at 1958 (when we first have polling available). CONT.
