Women give Dems massive lead for 2018 as they abandon GOP in record numbers

Two days after millions of protesters participated in Women’s March events all over the country, a new ABC News/Washington Post poll confirms just how the stunning the turn-away from the GOP and Donald Trump has become among women voters.

Asked which party they would vote for in the midterm elections, 64 percent of American women said they would pull the lever for a Democratic candidate, compared to just 29 percent for Republicans. That produces as stunning 35-point advantage for Democrats.

Last fall, when ABC and the Washington Post polled the same question, the gap stood at 15 points. So it has bulged 20 points in just two months.

By comparison, Republicans today enjoy a modest nine-point advantage among men voters.
