Here's CNN's exit poll for November 2022: https://www.cnn.com/election/2022/exit-polls/national-result...

Unmarried women vote Democratic, 68-31.

Unmarried men vote Republican, 52-45.

Married women, Republican, 56-42.

Married men, Republican, 59-39.

Here's an image purporting to describe the Reuters-Ipsos poll of 2012: https://i.imgur.com/I3ycNpC.png . (I haven't been able to find the actual poll.) It only gives the Republican share of the vote for each demographic, but Republicans+Democrats should be close to 100% of the vote. 1992 is an exception.

Unmarried women, 31% Republican.

Unmarried men, 41% Republican.

Married women, 55% Republican.

Married men, 58% Republican.



Most likely Democrat couples don’t feel the need to marry at the same rate as Republicans.

Anyhow, the quoted figures doesn’t exactly show that married people “barely vote Republican”.


Sampling bias: those that respond to polls.
