For some reason when the politicos - or the press, but I repeat myself - talk about a gender gap it's about women. The gender gap is actually bigger for men. In the last 9 elections, the gender gap was bigger for women 3 times and for men 5 times, with 1 tie. These statistics were taken from the Center for American Women and Politics. You have to do the math yourself because the report only calculates the gap for women.
