USA 2024: Gender gap widens between voters

A new poll from Suffolk University and USA Today shows Harris with a slight 49-46 percent edge over Trump in Pennsylvania, thanks in large part to major support from women voters. It confirms a large gender gap in the race, at least in Pennsylvania, with Harris leading with women by 56 percent to 39 percent, and Trump earning male votes by a slimmer 53-41 percent. In appealing to women, Harris has pushed the issue of reproductive rights – a hot-button issue since the US Supreme Court's 2022 decision to overturn national abortion protections unleashed a wave of bans and restrictions in 22 states.
