Poll: Large majority of women disapprove of Trump's job in office

Source: the hill








New polling shows Trump is much more popular among men than women

Poll: Large majority of women disapprove of Trump's job in office, 7/9/2018

..................................................

Sixty-five percent of women polled said they disapproved of Trump's job as president, while only 32 percent said they approved.

..................................

The poll comes shortly after Trump hired former Fox News executive Bill Shine, who faced backlash over his handling of sexual harassment allegations during his time at the network, to be White House deputy chief of staff for communications.

The president also joked about the " 'Me Too' generation" at a campaign rally in Montana last week.

“We will take that little kit and say — but we have to do it gently because we’re in the 'Me Too' generation so we have to be very gentle,” Trump said, referring to a DNA testing kit for Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.). "And we will very gently take that kit and we will slowly toss it hoping it doesn’t hit her and injure her arm even though it only weighs probably 2 ounces.”

Just because they disapprove of Trump, that does not mean they will not vote for him. But hope is alive.

Sure. To them, only white Protestant women count.

And even then, there are many exceptions - and more all the time.

But rather, that they appreciate his echoing their bigotry.

Most Southern white women, for instance (though with many exceptions).

It is what it is.

We had better keep an eye on the exit polls this November., as that's where the "irregularities" tend to show up.

We'll have to be quick though, because once the media notices the inconsistency, they adjust the exit polls accordingly.

It's amazing that, in 2018 America, we have to worry about third-world style election fraud like that. But thanks to Cheeto, we do.

To paraphrase Rumsfeld, we have the democracy we have, not the one we wish we had.

They see Trump as their vehicle to rid our country of people of color and stop abortion. For this, they are willing to overlook the fact that he is a traitorous, misogynistic idiot.

Or hold office. And that's not completely sarcastic. Many of our worst problems (wars, health care, arms, violence, the environment) I can't imagine most women would approach in such an arrogant, inhuman, and violent way. We need a hormonal revolution.

57% of all white women WHO VOTED voted for the asshole.

Approximately 2/3 of all eligible voters voted.

If you assume it was 50/50 male, female, then that takes it down to more like 30% of white women voted for him.

Big difference!

Mon Jul 9, 2018, 05:46 PM

... because they didn't care one way or the other, and their husbands *told* them vote for Trump.

That won't happen again - EVER! Those women will never make that mistake again. Too many women have had their eyes opened since then. I'm not saying they're all going to switch, but many of them will. They're going to pay attention and make their own choice. Women won't give their votes away, ever again.

hope you are right.
I was in shock when IQ45 won - and also shocked when I saw where some of his support came from.
A family down the street from me has 2 daughters - ages 6 & 4 - and they had a TRUMP sign in their yard.
REALLY?????? You have 2 young daughters and you support this "pu$$y-grabber?"
And, how many women DID vote for him?
Why was there even ONE?!?!?!?

It's just hard to believe it's possible that many women can approve of him. Brainwashing still works even in the 21st century I suppose.

Men ` ` Women
54 ` ` ` 32 ` ` ` Approve
45 ` ` ` 65 ` ` ` Disapprove
+9 ` ` `-33 ` ` ` Margin: Approve - Disapprove

Backquotes (`) are for spacing

From the OP's linked article:

The survey also found that the president was significantly more popular among men, with 54 percent of men saying they approved of Trump, while only 45 percent said they disapproved.


Very unlikely though that black nor latino men have these pro-Trump statistics.

to note. Just like many of references, the word (white) seems to be parenthetical regarding this discussion of women.

Black women voted 94% for Hillary.

I find this nuanced percentage important as we approach campaign areas. We need to see what issues compelled Black women to vote so heavily and use a different message to get those disgruntled white women to come to our side.

Note: Latino women voted 69% for Clinton.

Most millennials disapprove of Congress and President Donald Trump's job performance and think the country is heading in the wrong direction, a new poll found.

Sixty-three percent of millennials, aged 18 to 34, said they disapprove of Trump, with 46 percent of respondents saying they strongly disapprove, according to an NBC/GenForward poll, published Monday.

Just 19 percent of young people gave Trump a positive approval rating, down from 22 percent in the same poll at the start of January.

But Trump wasn't the only figure in Washington to get poor marks from the country's youth. Congress, too, polled poorly with 61 percent of respondents disapproving of how federal lawmakers have handled their job.
