Early polling suggests the 2020 elections could see record gender gaps in voting. SuperTuesday

, with 56.7 percent of women—but only 44.4 percent of men—voting for the winning pro-women’s rights Democratic candidate.

Across all major polls, women—especially women of color, and including politically unaffiliated and independent women—have been more critical of Trump’s actions and more supportive of his impeachment than men. In the most recent Fox News poll available at press time, 54 percent of all women and 69 percent of women of color said they think Trump should be impeached and removed from office, compared to 44 percent of all men.

By the late 1960s, though, the gap between men’s and women’s voter registration rates virtually disappeared. Women have constituted a majority of voters in elections since 1964, and by 1980 women’s turnout rate equaled or surpassed men’s.And that’s when what became known as the “gender gap” emerged—that is, the difference between women and men in their preferences for a particular candidate and their positions on the issues.

An organized backlash to the women’s rights movement had also emerged then. The New Right was on the rise and was heavily focused on pushing back on women’s rights—especially on abortion—further politicizing women’s issues.
