WaPo: Hillary Clinton’s woman problem, explained

Hillary Clinton’s woman problem, explained



In the months that have followed that July poll, one of Clinton's competitors in the Democratic primary -- Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent from Vermont -- has become better known. His positions have become more widely circulated, and coverage of his campaign has grown. And he might seem like a viable alternative to a larger group of people.

At the same time, as the first chart shows, the drops among men and women since May are actually pretty similar. But while men deserted her much more quickly (which is reflected in the July numbers), perhaps women just took a little longer to catch up -- or simply stood by the potential first female president for another month.
