A new report by The Washington Post finds that women who voted for Donald Trump in 2016 are now fed up with the president and are looking for someone else to run the country.
According to the report, Trump did well with non-college-educated and elderly women in 2016 – but that same demographic is now increasingly showing support for Democratic candidate Joe Biden instead.
In the case of Audrey Scaglione of Tampa, she once voted for Barack Obama and then flipped to Republican Trump in 2016 but now doubts she will vote for him again.
“I’m just really unsure right now. It is so hard to tell. I don’t think I can,” she explained before adding, “If he would just stop tweeting. I think everything would be a little bit better.”
According to the report, “Scaglione’s dilemma has become a burgeoning obsession for Republican strategists, who have watched a perilous fall in support for Trump’s reelection over the past few months. The shift has resulted in an advantage of five to six points in key Midwestern swing states that offered Biden only marginal leads at the start of the year.”
According to Celinda Lake, a Democratic pollster working with the Biden campaign, female voters have a major complaint about the president.
“These women really describe their lives as filled with exhausting chaos,” Lake reported. “It is something new every day. And they want someone who will lead them through this, not someone who will make it more chaotic.”
“Trump still has an advantage among white non-college-educated women, winning them by 14 points, compared with college-educated women, whom Biden wins by 28 points. But both groups have moved in the Democrats’ direction since 2016, by 11 points among those without college degrees and 12 points among those with degrees,” the Post reports.
According to the report, Trump has been told about the problem with women voters, but he has chosen to ignore advice from his aides to continue his antics.
Trump’s declining popularity with a major segment of the voting public is also starting to affect other members of his party, with the Post reporting, “Republicans across the country have been struggling with the resulting vertigo, as they try not to alienate Trump while at the same time avoiding any mention of the president in their own campaigns, in hopes of polling ahead of him on Election Day.”
