While all the talk of Donald Trump losing support among women is the stuff that makes the RNC all warm and fuzzy so they can push their narrative that Trump can’t beat Hillary Clinton, the truth as reported in a new survey commissioned by National Review shows that women don’t support her either, but when pressed to choose between them, support Trump 39/36%.
According to a newly released McLaughlin and McLaughlin survey, Hillary Clinton’s unfavorable ratings among women are in “Trump territory.” Trump’s reported unfavorable ratings among women are at 68% but Clinton’s are at 58%!
The difference between the levels of bad news for each candidate is that in Trump’s case there is no proven history of problems with women which presents an opportunity for him to clear the air and reduce the damage. Clinton’s problem likely goes back thirty years to the way Hillary allowed herself to be trampled under by an endless stream of embarrassing episodes involving her sexually perverted husband Bill Clinton. The victims of his sexual attacks are still around and very willing to describe their ordeals in front of cameras.
But Clinton’s problems with women might also be traced to her terrible handling of the murders of four Americans in Benghazi and her subsequent labeling of the families of the dead as liars.
Among women saying they are “undecided” between Trump and Clinton just 6% like her and 82% disapprove of her. “Among all voters, three in ten, 30 percent, are unfavorable to both Clinton and Trump. Among these who are unfavorable to both, 60 percent are women. They'd vote for Trump 39 percent to 33 percent,” the report says.
These are the favorable/unfavorable numbers from several groups of women: East: 39/53 Midwest: 36/62...

Trump’s numbers are improving
He just needs to leave retweeting to teen girls
I guess the Trumper thumpers will flip and quit trashing NR with this piece.
yes. and answer questions with a pause, thinking, and then answering deliberately.
He could do very well.
Wait a couple more hours, “Trump winning women” will be “reversed” and the media will claim that all women hate him. I no longer believe ANYTHING I read on the internet.
Is this like that ARG poll that showed Trump leading in Wisconsin?
Seriously, it is interesting. But it needs to be verified with more data.
What Democrats and even some Republicans don’t understand is that many of us will never support Hillary because of her extreme support for abortion.
Did NR cite this poll to admit that they got it wrong in some new article?
“While all the talk of Donald Trump losing support among women is the stuff that makes the RNC all warm and fuzzy so they can push their narrative that Trump can’t beat Hillary Clinton, the truth as reported in a new survey commissioned by National Review shows that women don’t support her either, but when pressed to choose between them, support Trump 39/36%.”
That is an incredibly misleading representation of the polling data. The actual data says women who are “undecided” and who are “unfavorable to both”, when forced to choose, choose Trump 39/36%. It is misleading because it doesn’t say anything about those who are ‘decided’. The 39/36% is of only a small fraction of the public.
While 60% of the “undecided” and “unfavorable to both” are women, only 30% of the population is “unfavorable to both”.
Applying the math, our of every 100 people, only 18 are both women and who are unfavorable to both. This poll says Trump would win 7 of them and Hillary would win 6.5. Wow, Trump would pick up 0.5% of the population.
How about some data on the women who are ‘decided’? What percentage supports Trump and Clinton?
I remember back when the media raged over Reagan’s “gender gap” even though his female support was greater than Carter’s, just not as much greater as was his male support.
Cruz is playing the role of the turd in the punch bowl, deluding the gullible to join the evil in the destruction of America.
The ARG poll was accurate without the cheating. Vote flipping.
What Democrats and even some Republicans don’t understand is that many of us will never support Hillary because of her extreme support for abortion......What? Are you ignorant? Many of us will not support Hillary because she is a TRAITOR a THIEF and a TYRANTWANNABE.
Free campaign advice, worth every penny Trump paid me for it!
More Melania and Ivanka. No tweets that even mention a woman without one of them approving it.
Put a female-friendly PR campaign out. Feature examples like the former Miss Wisconsin which show Trump’s big heart, concern for familes and children.
Put out a position paper on Education. It’s a big issue for women.
Publicly show how he’s walked the talk, hiring women for high-profile positions and paying them fairly. (Not anyone related to him).
Let Cruz self-destruct as sex-scandal develops but don’t pile on. Stay his distance from NE. Previous comment was perfect: “Cruz’s issue with the NE is his problem, I have no comment on it”.
STAY ON THE ISSUES! NOT AD-LIBs, NO PERSONAL ATTACKS. Just don’t do it.
Attack Hillary on the issues and her record NOT personally. Heaven knows there’s enough to work with.
Women as a group can be very hard on a female candidate, at times. Give them a reason to dislike her as a woman, and it falls apart from there. Hillary Clinton doesn’t inspire much to me other than disdain, and I’m male, so I couldn’t say whether or not she’s reached this level. She is where she is due to name recognition more than anything else, imho.
He’s had this woman’s vote since day one.
Exactly
That is what I would like to see happen
He needs to step away from twitter, no retweets of anything (that is another game the establishment plays, get some racist to send Trump something to see if he retweets it)
I agree with this
Haven’t we moved into an environment where “unfavorability ratings” don’t correlate with lost votes?
When all the candidates are despicable, and the campaigns are mostly divisive and negative, many voters will vote for the lesser of the evils that best suits their narrow or venal motives. Voting for candidates I admire, trust, or even regard favorably is a luxury I have rarely enjoyed.
