Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:
1. Explain that poverty affects groups differently, with women, single-parent households headed by women, and minorities more likely to live in poverty than white men.
2. Explain that the issue is overlooked in general because people in poverty lack political power based on the fact that they have little money to contribute to campaigns, lower voter-turnout rates, and less confidence when it comes to organizing to advocate for their issues.

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1. Define the gender gap as the differences in political opinions or political behaviors between men and women.
2. Explain that in the last three presidential elections, women have voted in favor of Democrats at a higher rate than men, but that gap narrowed during the 2012 election.
