A new survey indicates that a huge proportion of the progressive activists opposing President Donald Trump are middle-aged women, per Lake Research Polling, which examined Daily Action users.

Since the survey results reflect Daily Action users who chose to respond it's not a scientific poll, but Lake Research told HuffPost that they're confident the survey reflects "the group's most active users."
The raw numbers: 86% of those who participated were female and 66% were over the age of 45 — with 72% of women saying they'd already taken part in a protest against the Trump administration and 77% saying that they were very likely to protest in the future.
