Researchers are noting changes in American public opinion on the issue of woman in politics. A new study by the Pew Research Center tries to explore how Americans truly feel about the subject. Two years have passed since former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton became the first woman to win the presidential nomination of a major party in the United States. In 2018, a record number of American women are seeking elected office. Also this year, more women than ever before have won major party primary elections for state governor, the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. The Associated Press reports that most of these female candidates support the policies of the Democratic Party. Some say they decided to enter politics because of President Donald Trump’s election and the Republican Party’s control of Congress. Others were influenced by the #MeToo movement and protest marches organized by and for women. “We are seeing a level of enthusiasm among women voters that we haven’t seen in a long time,” said Laura Kelly, a Democrat. She is seeking to become governor in the state of Kansas.
