In a recent poll conducted with the White House Project, we asked 1,000 young women (98.4 percent) and men (1.6 percent) questions about a woman's role in the upcoming presidential election.
Here's what you said:
• Just over 90 percent trust in a woman's ability to lead the country.
• A little over 80 percent believe that a woman can balance being the President of the United States with raising children; slightly fewer, 72 percent, believe that a man can balance the same two jobs.
• About 62 percent do not think women are too emotional to be leaders. Rather, they feel that being more emotional makes women more compassionate.
• If a woman is on the presidential ballot, 69 percent will be more likely to vote on Election Day.
You also worried that:
• There will be pressure on the first woman president to prove that a woman can do the job (98 percent).
• Voters will care more about a female president's personal life and dating history than they do about a male president's (56 percent), and appearance will play a more important role for female candidates than for male candidates (50 percent).
