"The poll of 1,023 registered voters, including 869 likely voters, was taken Oct. 5-11 — just after the first presidential debate" snip -

Oct 5th? Yikes.

These are Gallup's crap LV numbers they just started using after the debate. These numbers have no historical context.

I agree. The poll in question was from the days of Rmoney's "sugar high".

More BS from the right wing. When Romney loses, the GOP does not want to lose so badly it really hurts their brand. Women don't like Romney, or the GOP for that matter. I am sure he has the brain dead right wing woman's vote, but if he loses so badly with women, Latinos, and other groups, it would hurt the GOP in their future goals to dominate not only this country, but the entire world with their corporate ruling class dictatorship!

When it looks to good to be true, it usually is!

There's a difference between being informed about bullshit out there and spreading propaganda.

The debate didn't matter. The GOP have been running an anti-woman campaign for over a year now. If these women don't see the danger by now, there is NO hope.
