Huffington Post, MAKERS, and YouGov joined forces to explore what men and women believe the state of gender equality is today in politics. They found  that 56% of people think we will have a female president in the next decade, with women slightly more optimistic that this will happen in the next 5 years. Gender differences also emerge in perceptions of the importance of women’s political representation, whether or not women are currently well-represented in politics, and men’s respect for women in politics.
