Clinton Outperforms Trump Among Women of All Age Groups, Education Levels

Gender issues have been at the forefront of the campaign this election cycle and after a particularly tumultuous week, it is interesting to see how wide the persistent gender gap has become.

According to the latest NBC News|SurveyMonkey Weekly Election Tracking Poll, Hillary Clinton currently enjoys an 18-point margin over Trump among likely women voters overall. Trump leads Clinton among likely men voters by 7 points.

The Democratic candidate leads Trump among women of all age groups and education levels. Women with college degrees support her by a 37-point margin (62 percent to 25 percent) and women without college degrees support her by a narrower 6-point margin (46 percent to 40 percent).
