These numbers show that working class white women, or less educated white women voted for the Republican candidate 3 to 1. Whereas college-educated white women only voted 2 to 1 for Youngkin. As pundit and writer Elie Mystal said on Twitter Wednesday morning, “57% of white women in Virginia voted for a Republican *the day after* Republicans spent an entire day in the court trying to overturn Roe v. Wade, and *actual professionals* in charge of Democratic messaging are going to blame it on Beloved.”

Hi arizona1, your numbers appear to be exit polls not the actual numbers. I will look again to see if there are actual post election numbers.

From the link I posted:

Either way, data shows that after 50 percent of white women voters in Virginia supported Biden’s Democratic candidacy last year instead of Trump’s, that number ballooned to 57 percent in favor of Youngkin on Tuesday.

On a more granular level in Virginia, both college-educated white women and those without a post-secondary education voted in droves for Youngkin, a decided reverse from the trend in which ballots were cast for the 2020 election.

Fifty-eight percent of college-educated white women in Virginia voted for Biden last year, data shows. But on Tuesday, the number of college-educated white women in Virginia supporting the Republican candidate grew to 62 percent.
