The gender gap in presidential politics is not new, but in this election year , the importance of projecting power has become gendered.

As early voting gets underway across the country, one political divide has become clear: Most men prefer President Donald Trump .

Vice President Kamala Harris walks a finer line, attempting to appeal to men while keeping her base among women.

Some voters believe candidates’ policies would benefit their corresponding gender and harm the other.

Pew survey: Nearly half say a Harris presidency would help women, while 36% believe it would make things worse for men.

This polarity reflects ways in which the two political parties have solicited support for their respective platforms.
