Survey of a little over 1900 'likely 2020 voters'
https://int.nyt.com/data/documenthe...29aa78e37ebdf2fe686/optimized/full.pdf#page=1
Some key take-aways:
Other points I found interesting:
77% of Republican men said there was full gender equality (the highest response by ~13% and well ahead of 54% of Republican women saying the same thing). Only 12% of Democratic women though there was full gender equality.
Women generally are more angry, scared, nervous or sad about the state of the US than their male counterparts
Muslim women were viewed as having the hardest time in the US at the moment (followed by immigrants then LBT women). Men were viewed as having the best.
Less than an third of people think President Trump has made things better for women rather than worse
Less than a quarter all voters think President Trump “probably has not” sexually assaulted women
There is evidence of a new trend that Democratic voters may be more likely than Republicans to be “single-issue” abortion voters
Top issues for women in 2020, in order were:
Government corruption
Health care costs
Economy
Supreme Court justices
Gun laws/immigration (tied)
Least important issues were:
Paid family leave
LGBTQ rights
Childchare
Housing
Biggest political affiliation splits for women were on:
Climate Change (issue for Ds, but not Rs, mixed for Indpendents)
Illegal immigration (issue for Rs, but not so much of Ds and Independents)
Separation of immigrant families (issue for Ds, but not Rs and Independents)
Abortion rights (issue for Ds, less so for Rs and Independents)
Treatment of women/treatment of minorities (issue for Ds, but not Rs, mixed for Indpendents)
Republicans, and specifically Republican women, least likely to view women as a "powerful force for positive change"

Some key take-aways:
1. Many voters are angry and worried about the state of women’s rights and gender equality in the country.
2. Women across nearly every demographic segment are more likely to think President Trump has made things worse, rather than better, for women.
3. Women voters connect a number of issues to gender equality, including violence against women, equal pay, paid family leave, and access to abortion.
4. The recent abortion bans aggravated and elevated feelings about the state of women’s rights.
5. Anti-abortion voters are among the most likely – if not the most likely – segment to hold inegalitarian views.
6. Democratic voters are more unified and mobilized around abortion than Republican voters are.
7. The way women are treated in society is a top voting issue for Democratic women voters, but not Republican women voters.
8. Democratic women are most likely to feel that the 2020 elections are “more important than usual.” Republican women are least likely to feel the upcoming elections are atypical.
