Adam Eichen, Jesse Rhodes and Tatishe Nteta write that a recent UMass Poll found that, despite widespread enthusiasm for Vice President Kamala Harris as a presidential candidate, sexism is still a powerful force in American politics. “Our analysis shows that people with negative attitudes toward women are much less likely to support Harris for president,” they write. Nteta, Provost Professor of political science, is director of the UMass Poll; Rhodes, professor of political science, is a co-director; and Eichen, a doctoral student in political science, serves as a graduate fellow.
