A 2025 study found that 16% of the population expressed discomfort about having a female president, a figure consistent across different demographic groups.
A September 2025 poll found that nearly one in five voters (19%) said they or someone they are close to would not elect a woman for president.
When asked if they would personally be open to voting for a qualified female candidate, a large majority (82%) said yes, meaning 18% said no.
A 2023 Pew Research Center survey reported that many Americans believe "many Americans aren't ready to elect a woman to higher office" (46% view this as a major obstacle), indicating a perception of broader public reluctance, even if they themselves might vote for a woman.
