With Election Day less than a week away and early voting well underway, Democrats are viewing the 10-point gap between genders in casting their ballots early as a good sign.
According to a Politico analysis of early voting data in key states, 55 percent of those who have cast their ballot already in the election are women, while 45 percent are men. This trend is also seen among registered Republicans, with more women voting early than men.
"But the high female turnout is encouraging to Democratic strategists, who expected that a surge in Republican turnout would result in more gender parity among early voters," Politico reported.
