Clinton Now Leads Trump By 20 Points With Women After He Attacked Former Miss Universe Alicia Machado
Historically, in presidential years, women make up a larger share of the electorate than men. In 2012, for example, 53 percent of voters were women and 47 percent were men, according to exit poll results.
Trump's campaign has needed to appeal to women voters in a big way and the past week from his debate performance to his feud with former Miss Universe Alicia Machado and his reported sexist behavior during his reality TV years has shown that he still has a lot more work to do to secure women voters.
Among women voters, a majority of 52 percent said they support Clinton compared to only 32 percent who said they support Trump.
Taking a deeper look at women voters, an overwhelming majority of women who have never been married, 67 percent support Clinton. Only 18 percent of women who have never been married said they support Trump.
Among married women the margin narrows: 48 percent said they support Clinton, 40 percent said Trump.
A majority of women voters who do not have children, 63 percent said they support Clinton. Just under a quarter, 23 percent, of women voters without children said they support Trump.
Women with children were more split with 50 percent of mothers said they support Clinton, 38 percent said they support Trump.
Trump is now trailing Clinton in the polls among nearly every demographic of women: women of color, unmarried women, married women, and white women with college degrees.
