    Economic issues may win women for Trump

    Economic issues may win women for Trump

    Many women in the US vote (D) simply over the abortion issue with zero thought to important issues such as the economy. Trump is not making abortion a big deal, so women get to think this election. And they don't trust Hillary or Bernie on the economy. They trust Trump.

    Conventional wisdom holds that women's opposition to Donald Trump will sink him this November, and there is plenty of reason to believe that. A CNN poll found some 73% of all women disapprove of him, the highest gender opposition ever seen for a major candidate.
    That's the conventional wisdom. So, game over?

    Not so fast. The latest numbers indicate that Trump's approval among women has been climbing modestly since March, while his disapproval ratings are declining. And most of the commentary about Trump's relationship with women is a product of looking at him and at Hillary Clinton through a gender lens only. If the sole question is which of them is more pro-women, of course she wins. But if one replaces the gender lens with an economic lens, the landscape of women voters takes on a completely different focus.
    There is also the testosterone factor. It is fashionably political correct to act like the bathroom wars, LGTBQs, and other fringe issues matter. But in reality women like men who act like men. In the New York primaries women told pollsters that they voted for Trump because, I quote, they like "men, not $#@!."

    Trump is going to baffle the "media" and those who embrace political correctness.

    This is the most recent poll I could find. It shows a steady decline in Trump's popularity with women. The more he opens his mouth, the more women are listening & not liking what they hear. You don't think that the source of the poll has any influence on the results?

    'PRINCETON, N.J. -- Donald Trump's image among U.S. women tilts strongly negative, with 70% of women holding an unfavorable opinion and 23% a favorable opinion of the Republican front-runner in March. Trump's unfavorable rating among women has been high since Gallup began tracking it last July, but after rising slightly last fall, it has increased even further since January. '

    They don't have to like him to vote for their economic interests.

    Yeah, whatever. I think this poll is like what women say about men who are bad for them.
