Election Wrap Up:
Gender Gap Persists in 2004

There was a 7-point gender gap in 2004, with 48% of women versus 55% of men voting to re-elect President Bush. It was evident across all demographic categories, even traditional Republican-leaning supporters.

However, President Bush increased his share of the women's vote compared to 2000. Senator Kerry won a slight majority of women's votes in the 2004 election, but lost ground from Al Gore's percentages in 2000.
