About a week ago, a Quinnipiac poll was released that showed Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are in a tight race in the three most important battleground states: Pennsylvannia, Ohio, and Florida. One of the primary reasons that the race is so tight is because of a gender gap that currently favors Trump.
It should be noted that Clinton's negative performance with men is specifically only with Daily chart: Hillary Clinton and male primary voters | The Economist, or at least that has been the case through the primary. And so I was curious as to why Hillary is doing so poorly amongst men? Are there any quotes from Hillary that are offensive to white males? Are there positions that Hillary has taken that would explain the amount of distaste that most white males feel for Hillary?
In Pennsylvania, Clinton's 19-point lead among women matches Trump's 21-point margin among men. In Ohio, she is up 7 points among women but down 15 points with men. In Florida she is up 13 points among women but down 13 points among men.
