1 in 5 Romantic Partners of Women Who Voted Clinton Didn't Cast a Ballot at All

As if we didn't already know the country was divided, a new joint report by PRRI and The Atlantic is offering up more evidence that the country's split over the 2016 election ran really, really deep — even among couples.

The survey found that 19 percent of women who voted for Hillary Clinton said their spouses or partners "did not vote at all," while 5 percent said their partners voted for Donald J. Trump. On the flipside, among men who voted for Trump, only 13 percent reported that their spouse or partner did not vote. Just 4 percent said their partners voted for Clinton.

While the survey did not appear to separate results by sexual orientation — and respondents can be assumed to include a number of gay and lesbian couples — the overall gender divide in this year's election was already a major talking point. Clinton ended up winning the overall women's vote by about 12 points while still losing the electoral college. While more than half of white women voted for Trump, exit poll data suggests that a whopping 94 percent of black women and 68 percent of Latinas voted for Clinton. (No wonder this amusing CNN interview with a politically fractured couple went so viral.)

The newly released PRRI survey had even more illuminating and explicitly gender-specific data to reveal. Namely, it found that many women are freaked out and pissed off about the election results: 8 percent say they are angry, 21 percent say they're disappointed, and 32 percent say they're worried. But among men, 28 percent said they were satisfied and 23 percent said they were "excited" about it. It doesn't take a data scientist to see how that emotional divide might spell disaster for some relationships. Our unsolicited advice? Now would be a great time to open that couples-counseling practice.
