Just a 10% Gender Gap in Attitudes on Lindsay Clancy Verdict

From a YouGov Sept. 4-8 survey:


Thus, there's

  • a 10-point gender gap, with women being less likely to vote guilty;
  • a 4-point gap between Hispanics and whites, with whites being less likely to vote guilty;
  • a 6-point gender gap by education, with college graduates being less likely to vote guilty;
  • virtually no black-white gap or income gap;
  • a 5-to-7-point regional gap between the Northeast and other regions, with Northeasterners being less likely to vote guilty;
  • a 3-to-5-point gap between 45-to-64-year-olds and other age ranges, with the other ranges being less likely to vote guilty;
  • a huge gap by ideology, which is unsurprising because "ideology" generally captures the sorts of value judgments that underlie these sorts of opinions;
  • a huge gap by party identification, which is likewise unsurprising because party identification is closely linked to ideology.
