“…Yet, while evolving in its conclusions, this body of research has yet to account for explicitly sexist campaign communications like that of the AHT. The result is that even as the two American political parties are polarizing on their approaches to gender-linked issues (Greenlee et al, 2018;Pearson, 2012;Sanbonmatsu, 2002a;Sharrow et al, 2016;Swers, 2002;Winter, 2008;Wolbrecht, 2000), we know very little about how to anticipate voter reactions to blatantly sexist messages.…”

Scholars have long debated whether and to what extent citizens punish political candidates for explicitly racist rhetoric. However, few studies explore whether a similar dynamic occurs when explicitly sexist messages are conveyed on the campaign trail. Do citizens recoil when exposed to explicitly sexist messages? To investigate this question, we exploit the unique opportunity afforded by the release of the "Access Hollywood" tape during the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign. Using data provided by the 2016 Cooperative Congressional Election Study and employing a variety of analytic approaches, we find consistent evidence that the release of the tape modestly, though significantly, reduced support for Donald Trump during the 2016 campaign. Surprisingly, these effects were similar among men and women, but they were noticeably larger among Republicans compared to Democrats.

“…Specifically, those who identify as feminist are more likely to vote for a Democratic candidate than a Republican or Independent, especially if the candidate is perceived as feminist themselves (Plutzer and Zipp 1996; Sharrow et al. 2016). These findings are tempered by the reality that feminists, similar to women as a whole, do not vote as a monolith and that women from different class, race, and ethnic backgrounds each have different priorities that shape their voting patterns (Frasure‐Yokley 2018; Harnois 2015; Strolovitch, Wong, and Proctor 2017).…”

This research examines the relationship between religious identification and feminist identification. Additionally, it investigates the extent of hostile sexist attitudes among those who identify as religious feminists. Utilizing 2016 American National Election Survey data, I find that religious women are no more or less likely to identify as feminist than the religiously unaffiliated, while evangelical and black Protestant men are less likely to identify as feminist. Further, both black Protestant women and Catholic men who identify as feminist express hostile sexist sentiment to a higher degree than their feminist unaffiliated counterparts, along with Latinas and Asian‐identified men. This study offers quantitative insights into the relationship between feminist identification, religious affiliation, and hostile sexist attitudes. Additional implications for this study include conceptualizations of feminism and sexism more broadly in society.

“…Research reveals the continued prevalence of negative affect toward racial and ethnic minorities among many Americans, and the effects of racial resentment on vote choice (Hutchings and Valentino 2004; Kinder and Sanders 1996; Tesler 2016; Tesler and Sears 2010). Sexism too persists among Americans and influences voter decision-making (McThomas and Tesler 2016; Sharrow et al 2016; Swim et al 1995).…”

Many U.S. elections provide voters with precious little information about candidates on the ballot. In local contests, party labels are often absent. In primary elections, party labels are not useful. Indeed, much of the time, voters have only the name of the candidate to go by. In these contexts, how do voters make decisions? Using several experiments, we find that voters use candidates’ race, ethnicity, and gender as cues for whom to support—penalizing candidates of color and benefiting women. But we also demonstrate that providing even a small amount of information to voters—such as candidate occupation—virtually erases the effects of candidate demographics on voter behavior, even among voters with high levels of racial and gender prejudice.
