New polls released on Monday showed that gender gap is coming into play in the midterm elections, with women voting for women as one of the common trend in North Carolina and New Hampshire elections.

In a poll recently conducted by the CNN/Opinion Research of 735 likely voters, it revealed  that incumbent New Hampshire U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen has tied with former Massachusetts U.S. Senator Scott Brown in his attempt to take her seat in the upcoming midterm elections.

Both senators have some 48 percent support from likely voters.

However, the survey also showed that Shaheen has a 12-point lead against Brown in terms of female voters, while Brown is in a 13-point lead in terms of male voters.

Meanwhile, in North Carolina, United States Senator Kay Hagan is leading against her Republican challenger Thom Tillis by four percent.

In the poll conducted by the Elon University on Monday, it revealed that 45 percent of likely voters sided with Hagan, while 41 percent chose to support Tillis.

In terms of likely female voters, Hagan is leading with 52 percent of supporters against Brown's 33 percent, while Tillis has a 12 point lead against Hagan among male voters.

The Elon University poll also revealed a bigger gender gap among single women, with 65 percent choosing to vote for Hagan, and 18 percent in support of Tillis.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the gender gap has long been a part of voting history, with the election race deeply divided between male and female voters.

In a statement released by assistant director Jason Husser of the Elon University Poll, he said nationwide polls have shown that the gender gap in voting is lessening.

However, the situation in North Carolina, where Hagan has 19 percent more female supporters, while the majority of Tillis' likely voters were male, proved that gender gap is still strong, according to Husser.
