Supporters of former President Donald Trump have largely been optimistic about his chances to take back the White House, but with less than a week before Election Day, some are raising the red flag over early voting data.
The gender gap in next week’s presidential election is expected to be one of the sharpest contrasts in recent history, according to polling data, with men leaning toward Trump and women leaning toward Vice President Kamala Harris.
A New York Times/Siena College poll released last week showed that the presidential race between Harris and Trump is tied nationally 48%-48%. However, when divided by gender, Harris holds a 54%-42% lead over Trump with women, while Trump holds a 55%-41% lead over Harris with men. In 2020, the gender divide saw women favor President Joe Biden over Trump 57%-42%, while men favored Trump over Biden 53%-43%, according to a CNN exit poll.
Early voting data nationwide shows women significantly outvoting men, which could hurt Trump’s chances of victory if the current trend holds through Election Day. Data from TargetSmart show female voters make up more of the early votes cast so far compared to male voters, 53.2%-44.5%.
Republican social media personality Mike Cernovich raised the alarm on Pennsylvania’s early voting totals, which show women outvoting men 55.6%-43.2%, according to TargetSmart.

Data from TargetSmart show the proportion of male-to-female votes in the Keystone State is roughly in line with data from 2020 and 2022 early vote returns.
Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, whose groups have been working to help Trump’s campaign, warned followers on X, “If men stay at home, Kamala is president,” and called on men to go to the polls to support Trump.
