Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: What are the consequences of voters’ gender stereotypes about politicians? In this paper, I use survey data from the 2002 statewide elections in Ohio to investigate the effect of voters’ baseline gender preferences. Many voters have a baseline preference to vote for male over female candidates, or female over male candidates. I find that the baseline preference is related to the vote in male-female contests but not in male-male contests. These results provide preliminary support for the view that gender stereotypes matter to the electoral fortunes of candidates. Moreover, the results suggest that gender stereotypes can be consequential even in the presence of partisan cues.
