Biden seems to be about equally popular among men and women, receiving 18 percent support among men and 16 percent among women. Christina Reynolds, spokeswoman for Emily’s List, a nonprofit that helps elect Democratic women, said it’s hard to know whether the Anita Hill hearing issue will affect his standing with women. Others may have follow-up questions about why Biden treated Hill as he did, what he’s learned, and why he waited nearly 30 years to reach out. Biden’s approach “shows the importance of women voters. And in a Democratic primary, women voters are incredibly important and I do think that focusing on what women voters think and what women voters want is something I think every campaign is going to have to grapple with,” Reynolds said.
