The shift in attitudes is largely driven by Democrats – particularly Democratic men
Americans are more likely to believe that being a woman will hurt Kamala Harris ’ chances in the November election, compared with eight years ago when Hillary Clinton was running. And they are more likely to believe that Donald Trump ’s gender will help him.
. About 3 in 10 Democratic men thought Clinton’s gender would hurt her “somewhat” or “a lot” prior to her loss to Trump. About half now say that about Harris. Americans are also more likely to see Trump’s gender as something that will help his chances of being elected. About 4 in 10 U.S. adults now say that being a man is something that will help him, up from around 3 in 10 when the same question was asked in an AP-NORC poll during his 2016 campaign.The poll’s findings seem to bolster arguments for the way both candidates have addressed gender in their campaigns.
Carlos Stallworth, a 59-year-old Republican from California, said Trump’s gendered appeal comes through in his campaigning, calling the former president “a guy’s guy, a man’s man kind of guy.” Aguilar, a Democrat, said she thinks some voters may still be uncomfortable with the idea of a female president.
