October 27, 2004 --Since July, 40-49 yr. old (Generation Jones) women have vacillated more than other generations of women between John Kerry and George W. Bush. In October they are also the most evenly divided, favoring Bush by a slight margin of 47% to 46%. This segment also has the highest percentage of undecideds in October, with 5.4% not sure who they'll vote for on Nov. 2.
Three of the five generations of women have favored Kerry each month, with only 30-39 yr. olds (Generation X) and 40-49 yr. olds swinging toward Bush in August and September. However, the much-discussed swing among women back toward Kerry in October was driven by the Generation Jones segment, while Generation X women actually increased their support for Bush, favoring him by 52% to 43%.
Rasmussen Report's age-breakdown also highlights the difference between Generation Jones and Baby Boomer women (the two groups are sometimes lumped together). Boomer women have favored Kerry each month, in October by 50% to 45%.

"Generation X women actually increased their support for Bush, favoring him by 52% to 43%."
Big Generation-Reagan neon grins!!!
(Me so proud now!)
That statement sounds straight from a self-absorbed '60s-ite whose very religious idol *was* that idiot Lennon (aka "Lenin", how appropriate). They think no1 did anything important or "significant" outside 1965-1972.
Agreed. That's *exactly* what I was thinking. We're the Reagan babies :)
Generation Jones - provided the decisive vote that re-elected George W. Bush on Nov. 2, 2004.

...if not for his significant margins among Generation Jones voters, Bush would not have been re-elected. Bush's margins among Jones voters were responsible for his wins in five key states that provided him with his Electoral College majority - Florida, Ohio, Iowa, Nevada and New Mexico. In these five states, the majority of voters in all of the other age groups combined favored Democrat John Kerry.
