00:00The gap is now in the double digits in several recent polls, with more and more men leaning

00:05for Trump and women for Harris.

00:08An NBC poll showed that men favoured Trump over Harris by 12 points, while women preferred

00:13Harris by 21.

00:15An overall gap of 33 points.

00:18Trump's history of personal attacks against women and the long list of sexual assault

00:22allegations against him has alienated many.

00:26But most polarising is his record on women's rights, particularly the Supreme Court decision

00:31taking away the constitutional right to abortion.

00:33The court handed down a victory for the constitution, a victory for the rule of law and above all

00:41a victory for life.

00:43A decision which Trump has proudly taken credit for, while Kamala Harris has come out strongly

00:48against it.

00:49One does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree the government

00:56should not be telling women what to do with their body.

00:59There's not much that the Republicans can do to walk back what's already been done.

01:04Donald Trump's nomination of three conservative Supreme Court justices have really opened

01:10up Pandora's box.

01:11The gender gap is even wider among Gen Z.

01:14Donald Trump's performative masculinity has proven popular among young men, an effect

01:19that grew after the assassination attempt on him in July.

01:23Trump has been increasingly courting this demographic, appearing alongside male-centric

01:27podcasters and influencers and wrestler Hulk Hogan.

01:31When they took a shot at my hero, make America great again.

01:37Polls show increasingly that as women progress, young men feel they've been left behind and

01:42don't feel served by the Democrats' focus on inclusion and diversity.
