This year ’s election puts the gender gap front and center for three reasons: one of the candidates could be the first woman president of the U.S. Women tend to vote more frequently for Democratic candidates and men for Republican candidates.

But in recent elections, women have turned out more than men, thus affecting gender gap.

In the 2020 presidential election in Pennsylvania , women accounted for more votes than men.

In Michigan , a Marist poll finds 56% of the women currently favor Harris and 52% of men currently favor Trump .

In Wisconsin , women favor Harris by 56% , and men favor Trump by 53% .

In Georgia , a CBS poll found there seem to be more men planning to vote for Trump ( 56% ) than women voting for Harris ( 53% ) In Arizona , the current gender gap appears to favor Trump as well.

If the gender gap in presidential preference remains the same but men’s turnout increases dramatically relative to 2020 , it will be good for Trump .
