Will women voters tip the country against Trump in November’s midterm elections? Recent polls show cause for optimism—hard-working, not complacent, optimism:
The amount of people saying they'll vote for the Democratic candidate has increased by 5 percentage points in total, by 1 percentage point among men and by 8 percentage points among women compared with near this time before the midterm elections in 2014. The men's vote for the Republican candidate also has increased, but only by 2 percentage points, while female support for the GOP has dropped by 10 percentage points. [...]
... while women supported the Democratic candidate over the Republican by a 7-point margin in 2014, CNN's June data shows the group saying they'll vote for Democrats over Republicans by a 25-point margin in 2018.
What we’re talking about here, of course, is movement among white women, 53 percent of whom voted for Donald Trump in 2016. The vast majority of women of color voting in 2016 did the right thing. But if a chunk of that 53 percent does the right thing in 2018 and helps deliver a Democratic Congress … well, welcome, ladies.
