Trump, Harris and the end of Roe all collide in closely divided battle for white women
“I felt embarrassed to call myself a Republican,” Wheeling told NBC News. “Four years ago, I might have said no [to Harris], but now I do think she is more moderate. And I absolutely cannot vote for Trump.”
“What we hear from [moderate white women] is, even if I would never choose to have an abortion, this is a freedom that women that I love deserve and should be protected,”
In an aggregate of NBC News polling from 2012, Republicans held a 5-point advantage with this group, only to slowly lose it over the next few election cycles. The gap in NBC News’ polling grew from there: to a 4-point advantage for Democrats in 2020 and now a 6-point edge in 2024.
The trend has been especially pronounced among younger white women ages 18-34. White women 35 to 54 years old remain in the GOP column, per this data, and at 55 and older, the trend line shows a toss-up between both parties.

I'm still seeing a lot of guys on social media sites claiming this issue is solved and it's now a State issue. Boy are they in for a rude awakening. Women are not the property of the State.
