DNC lineup of politically powerful women underscores gender gap between Democrats and Republicans
MILWAUKEE Former first lady Michelle Obama was the headline attraction Monday night at a Democratic National Convention that will showcase a long list of women with marquee roles in politics, from Kamala Harris to Nancy Pelosi to Elizabeth Warren to Hillary Clinton to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Those names underscore the far greater prominence of women in the Democratic Party compared with the GOP, a gender gap that also extends to the voting behavior of Americans and to public opinion about President Donald Trump.
The partisan gender gap is especially wide in Wisconsin, some pollsters say, where the DNC was originally scheduled to happen. And it has widened in Wisconsin to the point where women now account for two out of every three Democratic voters in the state, according to polling this year by the Marquette Law School.
While Trump has been winning men in Wisconsin by an average of nearly 10 points in polling this summer, he has been losing women by nearly 20.
