Pennsylvania exit poll data shows gender divide

Some interesting details emerged in the CBS exit polling in Pennsylvania showing how the key Senate race appeared have been divided along gender lines.

Pollsters found men backing Republican Mehmet Oz by double-digits, while women favoured his Democrat opponent John Fetterman by roughly the same margin.

That matches some of the anecdotal evidence we’d heard, with one young woman telling us outside a voting station that, for her, this was a single issue election – abortion.

In last month’s televised debate, Oz’s weakest moment was seen by many to come when he said that abortion was an issue for “women, doctors, local political leaders” to decide.

His strong anti-abortion stance was already known, but that formulation, seeming to conjure the image of local legislators in the room alongside women and doctors, was seen as a major flub.

If abortion was a motivating factor for women in Pennsylvania, the CBS exit polls found that for men, the top issue on their minds was inflation.
