As the world celebrates International Women's Day, a new poll shows that more women are feeling dread, worry and burnout and are facing worsening financial pressures.
Women have had to resort to drastic measures because of their finances: 67% cut back on going out to restaurants, 48% cut back on groceries and 18% delayed or canceled preventive health screenings.Younger women face higher financial struggles
"This poll will be instructive for consultants and candidates running on how to thread that needle and how to advocate for things. But also in a way that can restore some of the hope and change that we saw so much a decade ago," Martin said.An overwhelming number of women, 60%, said they are more burnt out than usual. This is an 11 percentage point increase from 2022.
An overwhelming majority of women, 74%, like the idea of having more women in political office. Yet what matters most to them is party affiliation, not the candidate's gender.Half of the women surveyed said the 2024 presidential election will be more important than most, an eight percentage increase from the 2022 midterm elections. Yet only 55% of Republican women trust the results of national elections and only 66% trust in local elections. .
And roughly a third of Republican women said they are less likely to support a 2024 candidate who opposed abortion.
