WASHINGTON _ There are several noticeable changes in the makeup of the Democratic and Republican parties since Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election, according to the Pew Research Center.
Reports of a widened gender gap and more minorities leaning Democrat come as former Vice President Joe Biden is now the betting favorite to defeat Trump in November's election.
The gender gap has widened by 6 percentage points since 2015, Pew data shows. Fifty-six percent of women are Democrat or lean left, which is more than any other year since 1994, while 38% of women lean Republican or conservative, research shows.
