There's a gender divide on nuclear power, but it doesn't mean what you think it means

[FBaggins]

6. And I predict responses by those who made the same mistake as the author

and didn't actually read the survey results themselves.

Total support/oppose nuclear power among
African Americans = 50/32
Those who voted for Democrats in the last election - 56/32
Ideology liberal - 53/37

The trick that the author is making here is that he's focusing on the question that asks if people want to increase the amount of nuclear power in the country. But even on that question, liberals support it by 50/39, there IS increasing support with increased education, and African Americans support by 44/36. Democratic voters in general supported the increase by 51/36. The only voting demographic that didn't support the increase were those who "didn't vote".

Also - The larger (relative) gender gap in "don't know/ no opinion" undermines the spin that it's just a difference in assessment of risk.
