Gallup poll shows women's interest in election declining

[SillyAmerican]

Just curious what people think about the implications of the trend being reported in this Gallup poll:

Will interest pick up once Hillary is the Dem nominee, or are women just tired of her?

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

not surprising. all the remaining reälistic candidates are pretty bad from any sort of feminist perspective.

In other words, men can listen to Trump for 48 minutes before they switch off.

For women, it is 6 minutes.

Yes, but it's the same 48 minutes vs. 6 minutes, whether it's Trump talking or Hillary talking. If Hillary doesn't start getting women excited about her candidacy, can she still win? Maybe, maybe not, I dunno.

Maybe because the vast majority of women will vote Hillary anyway and they are sick and tired of hearing about the election, especially Trump

Or maybe it's because the primaries are basically over, and men are more likely to view politics as a hobby and continue to follow the nitty gritty. The gap was similar in January.

I was speaking the other day to a woman I know who liked Sanders. She's in the whole "Both sides are corrupt" camp.

It's kinda good news for someone like me. Either we get a President Hillary Clinton who gets elected in spite of all her flaws and goes into an electoral victory without much "emotional investment" in her (IE Jimmy Carter, Bush 41) and then runs for re-election in 2020 for a fourth straight Democratic term in her mid-70s. She is also quite more of a neo-con in many ways than Trump is, so I would feel confident she'd blow the crap outta enemies and I accept she had to flip-flop on positions to please the looney Democratic base. Her votes for the Iraq War, her husband's anger at the BLM movement, all illustrate this.

OR...we get President Donald Trump.

Either way, at the end of the day, I guess I'll be content.

Now where would you get that idea? Not from Atlas Forum for sure, we have soooooooo many female members.
