The 2024 presidential election has revealed deep divisions and polarisations across American society. The political gender divide, however, is perhaps the deepest: Donald Trump has a substantial lead among male voters, while female voters are flocking to Kamala Harris.

It’s a divide that is particularly pronounced among younger voters: a poll of six battleground states last month found a gender gulf of 51 points among gen Z voters.

If you live in the US, we’re interested to hear from you which issues and developments over the past four years have shaped your vote – or voting intention –the most.

Have recent developments or events – in the world or in your personal life – affected your thinking? Have your existing views hardened? Have you become more ambivalent about certain issues?

Whatever your politics and how they’ve changed, we want to know.
