the cut partnered with YouGov for a series of online polls about national political attitudes. Overall, respondents

knocked sexism in politics but were on the fence about the women running for president in 2020. Respondents lived

in every region of the country and were slightly more female than male. Ages spanned widely, but most were either

baby-boomers or millennials. Around two-thirds were white; just above one-quarter had a four-year degree or more.
