White women shifting to Democrats

The Hill - Women favor Democrats over Republicans in House battleground districts, including more support from white women, according to a new poll.

In districts that could help determine which party controls the House after November's midterms, 46 percent of women surveyed said they’ll vote for Democrats while 34 percent said they plan to vote for Republicans, according to a CBS poll published Sunday. The remaining 16 percent said they are undecided.

Additionally, Democrats hold a slight advantage in those districts among white women, with 42 percent saying they’ll vote for Democrats and 40 percent saying they’ll vote for Republicans.

Support among white women voters for Democrats would stand in contrast with the 2016 election when 52 percent of white women voted for President Trump.
