The latest Atlanta Journal-Constitution survey of the race in Georgia suggests just that, with the Democrat failing to connect with men and thereby poorly positioned to take home the 16 electoral votes up for grabs in the crucial southern swing state.
The most striking split in support among the 1,000 likely voters the University of Georgia School of Public and International Affairs Survey Research Center polled is among men.
Just 28% of men back Harris’ campaign, compared with a whopping 59% who support Trump, a metric that contributes heavily to the former president’s 47% to 43% lead overall.
Harris has only 29% job approval among men against 59% disapproval, further cementing the impression “Dudes for Harris” could have their meetings in phone booths — assuming any are to be found in the Peach State.
The gender gap goes both ways, of course, but it’s much narrower with women. Harris leads 55% to 37% among her own gender, and while that’s significant, it only mitigates the overall margin.
Trump dominates with all age cohorts but the 30- to 44-year-olds, with whom Harris leads by 10. He’s up with 18- to 29-year-olds by 8 points, 45- to 64-year-olds by 10 and a modest 2 with senior citizens.
He also draws near-supermajority support from white voters in the AJC survey, with 66% backing him compared with 28% supporting Harris.
