 wilcox.test(clinton~gender, data=nes)

Wilcoxon rank sum test with continuity correction
data: clinton by gender
W = 1904200, p-value = 1.343e-12
alternative hypothesis: true location shift is not equal to 0
Since p  .05, we do find a significant difference between men and women’s feelings towards Clinton. Let’s see if these results are the same when we consider the directional test.
