Women vote at a higher rate than men in the Black, Hispanic, and Asian American and Pacific Islander communities, according to Rutgers University. In a combined average, about 58% of those diverse female voters cast ballots in the 2024 Presidential Election.

Now, a new report by Intersections of Our Lives and Ipsos highlights the political priorities of women who are Black, Hispanic, and Asian Pacific Islander. The data shows their attitude towards the government and what issues will be most important to them as we approach the midterm election. Key findings of the report include:

– It shows 65% believe the government is on the wrong track; 68% say their trust in the federal government has gotten worse in the past year and only 18% say the government is doing a good job.

– More than half (64%) say traditional parties and politicians don’t care about them.

– The majority (89%) are concerned about affordability, and 64% have delayed major life decisions, including nearly a quarter (23%) who have put off buying a home and one in five (21%) who have delayed getting health care.

– Just 15% rate the government as doing a good job of providing access to reproductive health care, (18%) say the government is doing a good job at ensuring people can choose whether to have children, and only 12% rate the government as doing a good job of making it possible to afford to raise children.
