Divided We Date: Love in the Days of the Donald
Briefly

Trump's re-election in 2024 has had a profound effect on the American dating scene, highlighting a significant divide between unmarried men and women. A recent survey shows that while many unmarried men support Trump, unmarried women largely oppose him, with six in ten believing that women would be worse off under a Trump presidency. This divide is particularly stark among college-educated women, who express reluctance to date Trump supporters, fearing that these men share viewpoints that threaten women's rights and progressive values.
Six in 10 single women believe that women in the US will be worse off under a second Trump presidency. Most single men do not share these same concerns.
The divide is particularly acute when Harris and Trump voters are compared. Male Trump voters are, as a group, the most enthusiastic about his win; female Harris voters are the most fearful.
One participant is quoted as saying: 'If you are a Trump supporter, I can only assume you support the rights of only straight white people and traditional values'.
The survey has documented a large about Trump between unmarried men and women. Most unmarried men voted for Trump in 2024, compared to 39 percent of unmarried women.
