In one of the most revealing studies in recent years, a 2016 survey of 137,456 full-time, first-year students at 184 colleges and universities in the United States, the U.C.L.A. Higher Education Research Institute found “the largest-ever gender gap in terms of political leanings: 41.1 percent of women, an all-time high, identified themselves as liberal or far left, compared to 28.9 percent of men.”
The institute has conducted freshmen surveys every year since 1966. In the early days, until 1980, men were consistently more liberal than women. In the early and mid-1980s, the share of liberals among male and female students was roughly equal, but since 1987, women have been more liberal than men in the first year of college.
. . .The Pew Research Center provided The Times with survey data showing that among all voters, Democrats are 56 percent female and 42 percent male, while Republicans are 52 percent male and 48 percent female, for a combined gender gap of 18 points.

Lots of additional data and little bit of analysis are available in the remainder of the article.
Democrats were 2% nonbinary?

ReplyDeleteRounding error could get you to as low as about 1.1%. The combination of non-binary and no response among Democrats reaching 1-2% doesn't seem out of line with exit polling in the 2020 election which I blogged previously at one point in late 2020.
The prior 2020 exit poll is at under 1% non-binary for all voters, not just Democrats (non-binary voters in 2020 supported Biden 70% of the time), which well within margin of error for a 1.1%-2% result for Democrats alone.
