minus-square@disguy_ovahealink-1•edit-21 month agoThe swing is determined by adding the difference from both sexes. 55-42=13% more men voted for Trump than Harris 53-45=8% more women voted for Harris than Trump 13+8=21% swing from men to women
minus-squareenkerslinkfedilink2•1 month agoJust to explain why people are confused: If it were 100% of men voting Trump, and 100% of women voting Harris, your math would give a 200% swing, so you’re essentially double counting. Divide by 2 to get the actual swing %. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swing_(politics)
