Women vote in higher numbers so unless there's a national outbreak of "STAY IN THE KITCHEN!!!" on November 6th, such numbers would deliver Obama another term.

So it does look like he lost some women to Romney.

Increasing the women's vote over the next 2.5 weeks needs to be Priority #1.

Still, fact remains that he wins even if Romney wins men by a couple of points more than Obama does women.

The campaign has already reiterated their strong leads w/ women in the SWING STATES. That's all that matters. WTF
are we analyzing national polls. All they are good for is an overall bellwether for the mood of the country. So you better get used to these numbers because they may not shift dramatically from here out. It's all about swing state polling. But you should know this with all the posting so why make these comments?

Did you put Robme's lead as the headline and not President Obama's leads with women,young people,hispanics and african americans? Why leave out that PPP has them tied up 48-48 nationally? Just curious.

Apologizing for anything. Point to me where I said something rude or out of line that requires me to owe you an apology? I asked a question. I used no profanity,I didn't call you any names or speak unkindly so why is it you are saying "apologize now"?

Tell me why you deserve one. I'll wait..

It's just that DU has had a HUGE influx recently. Talk to anybody on MIRT and they will tell you.

So when I see new members, I sometimes get suspicions.

They think he has not done enough. My question is how in the hell do they think Romney will be better?? I'm AA and my entire family (very large family minus one uncle) will vote for Obama. Unfortunately, most of them are in TN so that will not help the President win but it will help with popular vote.
