“For much of his campaign, Donald Trump has done more to repel voting women than he has to win them over. Now mounting evidence suggests they are already punishing him for it at the ballot box,” Politico reports.

“In three crucial battlegrounds — North Carolina, Florida and Georgia — women are casting early ballots in disproportionate numbers. And in North Carolina, a must-win state for Trump with detailed early voting data available, it’s clear that Democratic women have been particularly motivated to turn out or turn ballots in.”

2. I think the press and pundits often get this wrong

No doubt some women may be voting to punish him as the article snip says, but many, many women are that silent group that no one paid attention to in the primary and later. The mature woman who likes Hillary, always has liked her and wants to vote for a her because they have followed her and know she is not what the far left and right say she is.

4. Agreed. A lot of younger women, too, recognize that Hillary speaks to their issues

And is obviously the most qualified candidate we've seen in a long time.

The pundits have bought the narrative that people generally don't like Hillary. They're going to be discussing how wrong that narrative has been in the post mortem.

6. Not just Democratic women

I think a whole lot of republican women are also voting for Hillary, and that trend will continue. Many, maybe the majority, won't be telling anyone they voted for her, that wouldn't go over very well, but they will still vote for her.
