Vice President Harris boasts a 13-point lead over former President Trump among women voters in a new poll, a notable edge with a major voting bloc that could be critical for her ticket in November.

An Economist/YouGov poll taken this week found 51 percent of women who are registered voters said they support Harris, while 38 percent backed her Republican rival. On the other hand, Trump, who has struggled with women voters, saw a 7-point lead among men.

Really shows how brainwashed women on the religious right and racist right are.

Ignore the polling and just vote. We haven't won until we've won.

The odds look fantastic but there's always the chance a lot of people simply shrug it off and consider the election already over due to the odds looking to be so overwhelmingly in her favor. Don't be like that. Go out and vote unless you want dementia donnie to slip back in.

Current polling still puts DonOLD in the lead for the Electoral College. Odds are NOT fantastic, but are improving. Need to keep the pressure on for sure.

Yeah I figured that was the case but I haven't checked up on the EC in a while. We should probably win the popular vote easily but unfortunately our elections aren't determined by that.

Right?! You'd think Harris grabbed those women by... Something...

[–] [email protected] 37 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

I don't know how Trump is not at 0.00 percent with women. Just blows my mind that any woman would vote for Trump at this point.

I've been a poll worker for several years now in the midwest... The number of times I hear women here asking their husband to remind them who they're supposed to vote for is... disheartening.

The other day I saw a car with a Rosie the Riveter bumper sticker next to Trump 2024 sticker.

Assuming a 50/50 split between men and women, that equates to +3.5 for Trump vs +6.5 for Harris ASSUMING EVERYONE VOTES

SO GO VOTE

I would make an appeal to men to sleep in.

Lemme say, personally, as an older woman, Hillary absolutely didn't capture me. I still remember when she blamed video games for society's problems. I grew up being underwhelmed by her. I voted and all but my point is if I had to make myself do it, there were lots of women I knew who wouldn't bother.

Harris is sounding more and more like someone I'm excited to vote for. You can't buy that. I am unsurprised she's leading with women now.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago

As an older woman, those were my thoughts exactly. While I voted for Hillary, I didn't feel confident about it. I'm very excited to be voting for Kamala Harris

[–] [email protected] -5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

13 points? Pffft. Hillary had a ninety-one point lead at this point.

What, she did.

Polls.

True. But this was a very common graphic.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Those were odds of winning. She was polling a single digit ahead of Trump at that time.

Lots of people confused those.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

And lots of people chose not to vote because they thought it was "in the bag."
