We found no statistically significant shifts in men’s candidate preferences. One reason women might be disproportionately likely to change the way they think about the next election cycle is that gender norms call on them to be accommodating, and those norms influence people’s political decision-making.
Oy… That’s the best fivethirtyeight can come with? unsubstantiated conjecture?

Weak.
