Gender gap expands between Biden and Trump, new poll shows

The gender gap is growing between supporters of President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll of registered voters.

And that’s good news for the Democratic incumbent: Biden holds a slight lead over Trump in Wednesday’s 2024 presidential election poll, 50 percent to 44 percent. The same matchup was “too close to call” just a month ago.

More women said they would support Biden over Trump in this latest survey, with 58 percent backing Biden and 36 percent backing Trump. Last month, the Quinnipiac poll found 53 percent of women supported the incumbent Democrat, compared to 41 percent for the Republican challenger.

The numbers were relatively unchanged for men — 53 percent of men said they’d vote for Trump and 42 percent chose Biden in the latest poll, compared to 51 percent for Biden and 41 percent for Trump in December.

That we are discussing trump as a parties nominee in 2024 after what he has done in the past 8 years. An overwhelming condemnation of many of our fellow “Americans.” To many, Liberty and Justice for all is irrelevant.

That the media got a lot of mileage out of doom and gloom and giving Trump massive coverage prior to and through the holidays, and now, all of a sudden, as voters go to the polls in primaries and the vote totals don't come close to the poll results, the pollsters are now scrambling with new data as it has been revealed that a third of the GOP doesn't plan to support the orange headed buffoon if he is the nominee.

That changes everything.

Slight lead? Six points is outside the margin of error and in Presidential politics in this century, it's monumental. I'm waiting for when the polls actually catch up to there the voters really are, somewhere around 57 to 38.
