Division of Opinions on DEI Among White Women Voters

"Look at these white women with at least a college degree. They're the only group of white voters that’s really more aligned with the political left, with progressive causes, with the Democratic Party's politics. I’ll give you an example here. It’s that DEI question—excuse me—right here, that we asked in our poll. We read two major statements to voters. Basically: do you want to continue DEI programs, or do you think they should be ended? And again, look at this divide here. White men without a degree: end them. White men with a degree: end them, they say. White women without a degree: end them, they say—by double digits. And then white women with a college degree—completely different. By a margin of nearly 40 points, they say continue DEI."

In recent years, the voting preferences of white women in the United States have shown a marked divide based on education, religion, and age.

Education:

White women with a college degree have tended to support Democratic candidates. In 2020, 54% of this group voted for Joe Biden.

On the other hand, white women without a college degree have shown a preference for Republican candidates. In 2020, 63% voted for Donald Trump.

Religion:

White evangelical women have been a pillar of support for Trump, remaining steadfast in their backing during recent elections.

Age:

Young women (ages 18–29) have shown greater support for Democratic candidates compared to other age groups.

In summary, while college-educated and younger white women tend to lean Democratic, those without a college degree and with conservative religious affiliations have consistently supported Republican candidates.
