Women are giving hope to Biden campaign against Trump

Women voters are giving President Biden’s reelection campaign hope ahead of an expected rematch against former President Trump.
Support for Biden from women is on the rise, a survey published this week found, giving the campaign some optimism amid otherwise tough polling and a challenging 10 months ahead.
The president has put extra attention on appealing to women voters, especially around the anniversary of Roe v. Wade last month. That has dovetailed with stepped-up campaign travel and focus on pivotal states where he needs to win again in 2024, such as South Carolina, Michigan and Nevada.
And Trump’s recent “unforced errors,” combined with his defamation case loss to E. Jean Carroll, may hurt him with this demographic, some experts caution.
A Quinnipiac poll released Wednesday found that 58 percent of women said they support Biden, up from 53 percent in December. Meanwhile, 53 percent of men polled said they support Trump, which was “largely unchanged” from 51 percent in December.
“The gender demographic tells a story to keep an eye on. Propelled by female voters in just the past few weeks, the head-to-head tie with Trump morphs into a modest lead for Biden,” Quinnipiac University polling analyst Tim Malloy said in the report.
