Trump won all 5 states yesterday, and Clinton won 4 of 5.
In his victory speech, Trump claimed himself the presumptive winner of the Republican nomination. He also claimed that the only thing Clinton has going for her is that she's a woman, but women don't even like her. He said if she was a man, she wouldn't even have 5% of the vote -- Trump be trollin'.
In reality, Donald Trump is more disliked by women overall than Hillary Clinton, according to all favorability polls. She's gotten more of the total female Democratic vote than he has of the total female Republican vote, though she doesn't have majority support of young Democratic and Independent women (or men). Plus, Clinton has the majority support among black, Hispanic, and Democratic senior voters (men and women).
I don't think Hillary Clinton's gender has much to do with why she's pulled in more primary votes than any other candidate. And, I don't think Donald Trump would be any more popular with minorities and women if he were a woman saying the things he says.
