Why Do Women Vote Differently Than Men?

So did women move away from Reagan and his party in disgust? No. Rather, women?s emerging belief in their own political entitlement permitted them to stay right where they were. ?Reagan struck a chord with men, so men moved in a more Republican direction while women stayed put,? Carroll says. And in the wake of Reagan, Carroll says, the parties remained more polarized, helping to harden men and women?s party identifications. Kaufmann, of the University of Maryland, has looked at long-term election study data from 1952 to 2004 and observed that men?s support for the Democratic party declined from the mid-?70s through the eight years of Reagan?s presidency, and has remained at that lower level, with small fluctuations, ever since. In contrast, she writes, women?s voting and party identifications look about the same as they did 50 years ago.
