No Woman President? No Big Deal, According to Poll

iStock/Thinkstock(WASHINGTON) — Most Americans don’t care if they see a woman in the Oval Office during their lifetimes, according to a Pew Research Center survey.

In a poll of 1,800 adults conducted last November, 57 percent said it doesn’t matter if a woman becomes president while 38 percent said they hope they’ll be around to see it happen.

Democrats, by far, are more eager to elect a woman to the White House with 46 percent of men and 69 percent of women agreeing on its importance.

On the other hand, just 16 percent of Republican men and 20 percent of women identifying with the GOP feel the same way about a woman president.

Perception may have a lot to do with the struggle for women to be taken seriously as a candidate for the White House.  Fifty-eight percent of men and 73 percent of women responding to the Pew survey said it’s easier for men to get elected than women.
