Election 2000 Impact on Women's Rights
GENDER GAP: Women's Votes Decisive
The gender gap - the difference between the voting patterns
of men and women - proved decisive in presidential, Congressional,
and statewide races. Gore enjoyed a 12-point gender gap in
the nationwide Voter News Service exit polling, with 54% of
women voting for Gore but only 42% of men. Gore would not
have won the electoral votes in 16 of the 20 states in which
he was victorious without the gender gap. The gender gap
also was responsible for all 5 of the U.S. Senate races in
which Democrats picked up seats. More
