YWomenVote 2024
Findings from the 6th National Survey of Women in the U.S.
Women, particularly young women of color, are critical to driving social and policy change.
As movement makers and activators, our voices have the power to shape – and shake up – the landscape when it comes to the issues that matter most to our lives. That’s why YWCA conducts the YWomenVote survey bi-annually, to ensure that we’re always keeping these critical voices at the forefront of all of our work.
These findings are our roadmap to change.
The 2024 findings demonstrate that, once again, women overall – across generations, race and ethnicity, and other demographics – are united around which issues are most important.

Spotlights
These Spotlights provides a brief overview of the top reported issues, priorities, and experiences of women heading into the 2024 elections. Drawn from YWCA USA’s sixth national survey of women in the United States, this data includes an intensive focus on women of color and other demographic groups whose voices are critical yet frequently overlooked in policy discussions and frames clear expectations for action by policymakers.
Survey Methodology
This survey was designed and conducted by HIT Strategies in collaboration with YWCA USA via online opt-in panel. It reached a total of N=4,200 women registered to vote nationwide between June 21, 2024, and July 8, 2024. This sample is inclusive of oversamples of women of color (Native American / Alaska Native, N=200; Asian, N=300; Black, N=300; Latina, N-300; Pacific Islander, N=100); Gen Z and Millennial (Gen Z, N=300; Millennial women, N=300), and women with disabilities (N=300), all of which were weighted down to the appropriate size nationwide. The margin of error is +/- 1.97%. The combined reach of this survey and additional oversamples enabled examination of demographic subgroups by race and ethnicity, by generation, and by disability status.
