Donald Trump missed a chance early in the presidential race to make inroads with independent female voters, but now the damage is done and analysts say the Republican front-runner likely can’t make amends with women he repulsed by spewing insults and sexist remarks.
Republican presidential candidates have suffered a gender gap for decades, but Mr. Trump turned the gap into an abyss, which polls show will doom him to a sweeping loss in a general election matchup against Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton. The real estate mogul fared worse than his two Republican rivals in theoretical matchups against Mrs. Clinton, largely because of his disadvantage with female voters.
Mr. Trump lost female voters to Mrs. Clinton 52 percent to 29 percent in a recent national poll by Investors Business Daily. He barely edged out the former secretary of state among male voters, 42 percent to 41 percent, which wasn’t enough to make up for the deficit with women.
He lost overall to Mrs. Clinton by 12 percentage points, 47 percent to 35 percent

Well, as long as this is talking about 2026, Trump really doesn’t have to care.
We need a plan B. It should involve hell on earth.
“Hoisted upon his own petard” as the old saying goes. It seemed only a matter of time. Tuesday Wisconsin GOP primary demographics show this segment to be a major problem for him. I guess he thought he was being cute and clever, somehow.
Yeah, not.
The results tonight showed Trump support exactly even with men and woman. Where do they make up these stories from. And it wont be Hillary as the nominee. Sanders will win out the same as Obama did. Which is not good for eventual GOP nominee. Sanders much harder to beat.
Trump has plenty of time to close this
Once Trump talks policy
It is all over with Hillary
Dewey defeats Truman.
Why run?
Why care? Arent they saying Cruz will get the nod, or Ryan or Romney? Why run this when they say Trump wont be the nominee?
Agitprop bs.
Good post. Thanks for that. Ill have to try it. Trump though should remain Trump.
Despite it being a depressing funeral parlour with firges tonight in Trumpville here on FR, my you guys are really scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Yep! Exactly.
Trump calling Kelly a bimbo and Carly too ugly to get elected POTUS really helped trump with women voters.
But who needs them ? Not Trump
Plenty of unemployed untapped white male voters over 50 that Trump will make first time GOP voters will more than make up for lost wimmin voters.
I imagine most of the debates Hillary will be laughing like the Joker, given the zingers that ought to be flying her way.
She always laughs when she is made uncomfortable. Its her goto response. A tell, more accurately.
Too late. The narrative his been constructed. The irony bring he facilitated it himself and gave them material. Just talk to any woman outside the confines of FR. He has a wider problem.
Trump can use that his advantage
Benghazi will get many laughs out of her
And once that is on display, it is over for her
Only in the minds of liberals
That narrative can easily be destroyed
He can talk about how he was the first builder to put women in charge of construction projects way before it was “cool”
Narrative, destroyed
He is saving that for later
