Trump's biggest weakness with voters on full display as primaries ramp up

With Donald Trump appearing to be running away with the 2024 Republican party presidential nomination despite his myriad legal problems, the very fact that former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) is making a run at him has exposed his Achilles heel when it comes to a critical segment of voters.

According to a report from the Daily Beast's Jake Lahut and Sam Brodey, the former president is struggling mightily making inroads with female voters and, more importantly, that includes Republican women who are repulsed by his third run for the Oval Office.

The report notes that a recent poll in the key primary state of New Hampshire shows Trump with a tenuous 37 percent to 33 percent lead over Haley with GOP primary voters, however Haley has a 6-point lead with females in that same poll.

That has led to concerns with Trump insiders about his viability as a candidate in the general election should he end up as the GOP's standard bearer in the 2024 election.

"The party base, a former Trump appointee considering joining forces with Haley told The Daily Beast, remains 'in denial with the white suburban women vote,'" Lahut and Brodey report.

According to a Haley insider, "The female demographic nationally is an increasingly important one. Their turnout rates are higher, there are a larger number of registered voters who are female, and so that’s going to be a critical demographic in this election.”

GOP strategist Sarah Longwellexplained that Trump does even worse with college-educated women.

"I do think that sometimes people overemphasize gender, in terms of people who are anti-Trump who have been part of the Republican party. I think the dividing line is much clearer around college education,” she stated.
