Geography, however, is not the only cleavage. Gender also has been an important divide since 1980. President Clinton benefited from far more support among women than among men, leading Republican Robert Dole by 16 points among women in 1996. The gender gap dissipated after September 11, 2001. The Humphrey Institute’s survey of likely voters in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa reveals relatively muted differences between men and women —often times within the margin of error.engendergapReport
