Most Americans are cool with a female president, they're just not so sure the rest of the country agrees, according a new poll.
Most Americans are cool with a female president, they're just not so sure the rest of the country agrees, according a new poll.
That said, those same voters thought that the rest of the country was less ready than they are, which could have implications for how voters feel about the electability of a woman candidate. Respondents said that 39% of most Americans are"moderately ready," while 30% are"slightly ready," and only 16% are"not ready at all."
Broken down by political party, Democrats are the most ready for a woman candidate -- which should come as little surprise since they nominated Hillary Clinton as their party's nominee in 2016. Sheryl Sandberg, the COO of Facebook and the founder of LeanIn, said that the poll highlights important internal views.
