People Think That Women Have Stronger Leadership Traits

I’m sure this will warm the hearts of Clinton supporters. 

In a finding that will be bittersweet for Hillary Clinton supporters, a new Pew survey finds that when it comes to honesty, intelligence and a handful of other key traits valued in leaders, the public rates women as superior to men.

Still, a mere 6 percent say that, overall, women make better political leaders than men. The vast majority of respondents, 69 percent, ranked men and women as equally good leaders. That’s according to a nationwide Pew Research Center Social and Demographic Trends survey of 2,250 American adults conducted from June 16 to July 16, 2008.

1. It tells me that the surveys asking about traits aren’t asking the right questions, since they have no relationship to those being asked about leadership in general.
