If you removed the people voting for Hillary just because she's female [View all]

I wonder what her numbers would look like? I don't really like one issue voters and kind of put people who plan to vote for Hillary just because she is a woman into that category. I would not include informed people who like her for other reasons in that group. I wish there was a way to see how many of her supporters would be voting for her for that one reason. Has anyone seen any kind of break down on that? It would be like me voting just for Bernie because he's old and I'm old, I guess.

PPP poll showed a 22 point gender gap EndElectoral Nov 2015 #64
