The Gender Gap In The Election Was Mostly The Marriage Gap

Earlier: Democrats Recoil From GOP’s Electoral Secret: Marriage Plus Children

I discovered that the famous Gender Gap was largely the less well-known Marriage Gap in the months after the 2004 election. As I explained in 2005:

“Affordable Family Formation” — The Neglected Key To GOP’s Future

Here’s my write-up of the 2012 Presidential election in which the Marriage Gap was as big once again as in 2000 and 2004. The rise of the oft-divorced Trump depressed the Marriage Gap somewhat relative to elections featuring George W. Bush and Mitt Romney, but it was back bigly in 2022, probably especially due to the abortion issue.
