While white men voted solidly for former Gov. Mitt Romney and the Republicans in 2012, the pattern for white women is more complicated. Women voters supported President Obama by 55% (Obama) to 45% (Romney) overall. On the other hand, only 45% of male voters supported the Democratic ticket.
If you compare the two maps, you can see that majorities of white women and men were mutual in their support for the Obama ticket in only four states: WA, OR, VT, and MA. In another 7 states (CA, NY, NH, ME, WI, IA, and MN), white voters split: white women supported Obama; white men supported Romney.
