Rather than a monolithic response, the Trump era instead is widening the divide between the political preferences of white-collar and blue-collar white women. Whether looking at whites, blacks or Hispanics, Democrats consistently run better among women than men (or from the other angle, Republicans run better among men than women). The widening class gap among white women tracked a parallel divergence among white men. But relative to Clinton the exit polls showed Northam gaining only three percentage points among both blue-collar white women and men. (In the Quinnipiac Poll over three-fifths of college-educated white women said he wasn't fit to be president and two-thirds said he doesn't respect women as much as men.)
