Biden holds a slight lead over Trump in Wednesday’s poll from Quinnipiac University.

The gender gap is growing between supporters of President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll of registered voters.

And that’s good news for the Democratic incumbent: Biden holds a slight lead over Trump in Wednesday’s 2024 presidential election poll, 50 percent to 44 percent. The same matchup was “too close to call” just a month ago.

More women said they would support Biden over Trump in this latest survey, with 58 percent backing Biden and 36 percent backing Trump. Last month, the Quinnipiac poll found 53 percent of women supported the incumbent Democrat, compared to 41 percent for the Republican challenger.

The numbers were relatively unchanged for men — 53 percent of men said they’d vote for Trump and 42 percent chose Biden in the latest poll, compared to 51 percent for Biden and 41 percent for Trump in December.

    They’re still consistent, young men are still overall way more liberal/left leaning than the ordinary generational shift, it’s just that young women have departed much further much faster since Dobbs has created a massive call to action that young women are VERY motivated by while young men haven’t had that watershed moment that drives them to really act against the system.

      If it was like, “each state gets to set limits on how many times you can have sex or jack off in a month because it kills fetuses”, guys everywhere would be in a rage.

      I can’t figure out how women can still support the Republicans after they took their rights away.

        Unless you had an enforcement mechanism, those guys would love the fuck out of it and claim that they never masturbate anyway. But come up with a way to prove they are lying and then they’ll be up in arms over such an invasion of privacy.

          Considering which states would be prone to pass anti masturbation laws, that method of proof would probably be based on skin colour.

      I totally agree, but the study I read was pre-Dobbs, I believe. It was a longitudinal study so the data in the study was absolutely pre-Dobbs and went back through the 50s or so. Sorry - it’s been a while and the thing that stuck with me the most was the line graph.
