Hill's Group: Hillary Clinton’s ‘firewall’ isn’t just about black voters. It’s also about women.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/03/08/hillary-clintons-firewall-isnt-just-about-black-voters-its-also-about-women/

Much has been written about how black voters are Clinton's "firewall." But in primaries, women have been delivering her important wins, too -- women of all races.

This is helping offset her struggles with the largely white male voters who have rallied around her challenger, Bernie Sanders. In fact, Clinton has lost the female vote in just two primary states -- New Hampshire and Sanders's home state of Vermont. (She does worse overall in caucus states, but most don't have entrance poll data.) That has a lot to do with her performances among black women, but she also has been very strong among white women.


There is more good stuff at the link, together with some good graphs.

I sincerely believe that there will be many crossover women voters in the GE if Hillary is the candidate. Every single one of the GOPer candidates will continue and extend the War on Women. Any thinking woman knows - or should know - that well.
