Joe Biden is winning female voters by a historic margin

https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/13/politics/biden-women-voters-analysis/index.html


Biden is earning a historic amount of support from female voters for a presidential nominee when examining polling over the last 70 years.

Take a look at the most recent live interview polls of registered voters from May and June compiled by The New York Times' Nate Cohn.

Biden is leading among female registered voters by 59% to 35%, a 25-point margin when the numbers aren't rounded. That's a significant increase from his 19-point advantage earlier this year and the 14-point lead Hillary Clinton had in the final 2016 preelection polls of registered voters. Clinton had a 13-point edge with likely female voters.

The only year that comes close to what we see in the polls right now is 1964. That year, Democrat Lyndon Johnson won nationally by 23 points overall, and Gallup had him taking the women's vote by 24 points. Biden's doing a point better than Johnson did among female voters, even as he is doing 13 points worse overall. In no other year since 1952 did the Democratic nominee win among female voters by more than 15 points.

And aren't fans of pathologically narcissistic sexual predators.

I'd say every woman who's 'wired' in the fashion that a female human is supposed to be wired ... naturally would favor Biden.

Could it be because Trump is a disgusting asshole who treats women like shit. I miss my mom, but I am glad she did not have to live through the era of Trump. My mom was old fashioned and down to earth. She would get pissed if you swore in front of her. She would have hated Trump with all her heart and soul.

When my mom got mad she would not swear, she would yell this. JESUS, MARY and JOSEPH! When you heard that, it was time to take cover.
