1 in 8 women say they've secretly voted differently than partners [View all]
https://www.salon.com/2024/11/01/yougov-poll-1-in-8-women-say-they-have-voted-differently-than-their-without-telling-them/In an election where women's rights and health have moved to center stage in wake of abortion bans and Trump's threats to "protect" women against their will, disagreements within opposite-sex relationships might be more common. Women have typically voted for the Democratic candidate at a higher rate than men, but polls have shown an even wider gender gap in this election cycle, with women backing Vice President Kamala Harris by as much as 12% over Trump.
That's a stark contrast to the 46% of men in the YouGov survey who believed that their partners would be voting for Trump, versus the 40% who said the same about Harris.
