Abstract
This article delves into the gender gap in the United States and how it affects multi-facets of life, especially but not limited to partisanship and electoral performance in America. Different factors are analyzed that might also affect such factors as religion and media coverage. Women's historical suppression has led to an increase of value in public welfare instead of the economy. We examine why women veer towards more liberal ideologies than men. One thing that might affect their gravitation towards liberal ideologies is religion. This paper further examines if religion affects women identifying as Democrats or Republicans. Gender roles have a significant impact on society which is present in job roles and the media. As women have reached higher levels of equality in the workplace, it is pertinent to observe the difference in media coverage and how it may influence a female candidate running for the senate.
