Short Answer
A poll released this week found that in a random sample of registered voters, 60% indicated that they think a female "will run" for the presidency, 30% said a female "will not run," and 10% had "no opinion." When asked their opinions on whether or not a female would be elected, 66% of those who said a female "will run" thought she could be elected; 25% of those who thought a female "will not run" thought she could be elected; whereas, 20% of those who had no opinion said that she could be elected.
