The gender gap was expected to be historic. Instead, women voted much as they always have.

"Meanwhile, more than half of White women voted for Trump, preliminary exit polls suggest."

GOOD LORD IF TRUE WHY?

[Orrex]

1. Apparently a certain kind of Republican woman loves an accused rapist

Or, at least, they can overlook it (along with him publicly lusting after his own daughter, bragging about barging in on naked underage girls, self-identifying as a sexual predator, and cheating on each of his many wives) simply because they're racist and they hate paying taxes.

2. I would not be this angry

Save that it seems blacks and browns among the ladies did so much heavy lifting, yet get little credit, instead focusing on the same white women who mostly voted for Trump anyway?

9. Yup. Everyone caters to the "suburban soccer moms" when

it always comes down to the black and brown women saving our butts.

Glad Kamala’s VP, hope we can keep working to support our most loyal and dedicated constituency.

3. FYI: exit polling this year is said to be further off than polling for the GE

4. Ignore exit polls this early.

They will not be finalized and truly representative of the electorate until at least a few weeks, if not a few months from now. Don't even bother with them till then.

10. Lots of exit polls will only be in-person voting...

...so pretty much diehard Trumpers.

5. Propaganda works, always has,

and repugs have always been very good at it; Dems not so much.

6. If the hell they say they believe in existed they would all fucking rot there

7. Maybe

But I see no reason to believe these polls any more than the pre-election polls.

Regardless of the percentage of white women who voted for Trump, the percentage of white men was greater. Yet somehow white men seem to think they can absolve themselves by pointing to white women.

8. Election Day exit polling when most Dems did early voting

and more Republicans were there to answer poll questions.
