A new post-election poll confirms many women voters strongly dislike President Trump and are troubled by his tone and use of offensive language, but they also say he wasn’t the only factor driving their votes this fall.
President Trump has a steep hill to climb if he is to win over women voters in 2020. The poll shows 60 percent of women voters – including nearly two-thirds of Independent women – view the president unfavorably. Republican women too have lukewarm views toward him personally – with 37 percent who say they don’t like him but agree with him on issues and only 55 percent who say that they both agree with him on most issues and also find him likable.
The survey, commissioned by the Women & Politics Institute at American University’s School of Public Affairs and conducted by the Benenson Strategy Group (BSG), consisted of 1,200 online interviews with 2018 midterm voters – 799 of whom were women – and was taken between November 15-20, 2018. CONT.
