That’s a really generous gender gap for Hillary. It was 53-47 last time and I’d expect that if not closer. Also, I noticed in the WaPo internals that Trump and HRC are essentially tied with white women.
You are probably mis-reading my first chart.
In the LA Times poll...
Hillary Leads Trump AMONG women by 8 points.
Trump Leads Hillary AMONG MEN by 16 points.
So, the LA Times is (apparently deliberately) OVER-SAMPLING Women, and UNDER-SAMPLING Men.
The chart shows 55 women being polled for every 45 men, which is skewed.
They should poll fewer women, and more men.
There seems to be a miscommunication. I think we’re in agreement. Last election the split was 53F to 47 male. The split in the poll seems far too generous to Hillary given that it’s wider than 2012. I’m expecting the gap to shrink, 52-48 or 51.5-48.5.
