Data Shows Women Are Largely Behind Trump’s Low Ratings
- 7 years ago
President Trump’s poll numbers continue to come in on the low side, and data suggests women are more apt to be less fond of the president.
President Trump’s poll numbers continue to come in on the low side, and a recent survey conducted by the Public Religion Research Institute suggests that women are more apt to be less approving of the president.
When asked whether Trump should be impeached, 47% of female respondents said yes, while only 32% of the men involved answered the question in affirmative terms.
In fact, NPR reports that "women are a big reason why his approval rating is so low, Gallup data show. Women approve of Trump far less than they have approved of any other president at this point in his administration in at least the last 64 years, according to data collected since Dwight Eisenhower was in the White House."
Over the past year or so, the president has been criticized for many of his statements concerning women.
They include his remarks on the infamous Access Hollywood tape and seemingly disparaging comments about fellow primary candidate Carly Fiorina’s face.
Since taking office, his handling of a number of issues involving women has also been called into question.
Among the criticized moves is his recently reported decision to abandon an Obama-era initiative to close the gender pay gap by increasing transparency.
Newsweek notes that the plan would have come into effect this year and required that businesses employing over 100 individuals report wages being paid to workers and specify recipients’ gender, ethnicity, and race.
