U.S. election reveals growing gender divide in voting patterns

In the recent U.S. Presidential election, exit polls showed a significant gender divide. Women aged 18-29 overwhelmingly supported Kamala Harris, while young men favored Donald Trump. This marks a shift in voting patterns, reflecting deeper societal changes over decades. Historically, women leaned conservative but began shifting left in the 1970s. The 2024 election highlighted this trend, with issues like abortion becoming central to women's voting decisions, contrasting with young men's focus on the economy. Both campaigns emphasized gender dynamics, with Trump appealing to young men and Harris targeting young women. The election results indicate a growing divide in perspectives on gender roles and reproductive rights, shaping future political battles.
