The race between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris has divided the US electorate
has divided the US electorate along lines of gender, race and education, with Trump improving his standing among men – particularly Hispanic men – while Harris’ support has surged among women, helping her cut away at the Republicans’ longstanding edge with white voters.
Democrats’ gains among women have been fueled by Harris’ standing among white women. Harris trailed Trump by 2 points among white women- 46% to 44% – a much smaller margin than the 16-point lead Trump had over Biden four years earlier. Hispanic voters, the fastest-growing segment of the US electorate, have leaned heavily Democratic in most presidential elections since the 1970s but Trump has made significant inroads. Trump had the support of 38% of registered Hispanic voters, up from 32% at the same point in 2020. Harris’ share of Hispanic voters was at 50%, compared with Biden’s 54% in October 2020.
Some 19% of Black men and 7% of Black women said in October they would vote for Trump, up from 17% and 5% who said the same in October 2020.
