Women boost Obama over Romney in new ABC poll

An ABC News/Washington Post poll released Tuesday shows female voters play a significant role in President Barack Obama's current lead over Mitt Romney among 2012 voters. Tuesday's poll is the second major national poll in recent weeks pointing to a gender gap.

Another poll manipulated by the lamestream media. Rasmussen has had Obama on a downward trend for the last week, and every day he and Mittens are in a statistical tie.

[Freddd]

This the poll Democrats had a 7 point advantage?

No wonder suddenly Obama is leading everywhere...

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[RobbyS]

Without the solid black vote, the gender gap disappears. Why do you think that Obama put himself at the lynch mob? Likewise, the manufactured contraception flap. He needs the vote of white, single professional women. Plus all the steps to solidify the support of the gay-rights lobby. Nothing but emotion and self-interest holds all these together. His best hope is, however, to conceal the true economic situation, to preach that he needs more time to let his policies work, that they would be working now were it not for Republican obstruction. Everyday the ap send out the Obama take on things.

Here is a PDF of the survey. I don't see any party breakdown, but two things stick out that makes this more of an Obama push poll than anything else.

If the American people are opposed to Obama care, why is Obama favored on health issues 48-38?

And ever after the open microphone with Medvedev, why is he favored on foreign policy (Int'l Affairs) 53-36?

Obama is favored on Job Creation 46-43. Have we all passed through a mirror and entered Alice's Wonderland? The whole thing is LOONEY

Yeah, whatever. Just part of the narrative. 12% Unemployment, 5.00 gas, amd Moochelle are too hard to run an “accomplishment” platform. So Obama unveils Susie Fluke, and ABC follows suit.
Newsflash, only Obama women care whether Fluke has enough condoms for the weekend..

Not this chick!! I will NEVER EVER EVER vote for that Marxist, Socialist, Commie piece of crap..NEVER..I saw Obama for what he was back in Jan 2008, so they never polled me. Figures they wouldn’t poll people with a brain, just Dem zombies

[eureka!]

Garbage pollaganda. Over samples ‘rats by 11 points.

[Mr. Lucky]

Jeez, finally a clear headed post.

This MSM poll sets everyone fluttering like a bunch of hens when the dog gets in the coop. Apparently you're the only one to immediately figure out that Democrats were way overweighted in the polling sample.

[Parmenio]

This is a poll of “adult” voters (not likely voters) and an 11 point Dem advantage in the sample. unlike some gullible people, I’m not buying what the MSM is peddling.

[who knows what evil?]

Seriously, if I thought all women would not be allowed to vote, I would give up my vote without a struggle because I trust men to do the logical and right thing WAY more than I trust most women.

I have met a number of conservative women who have said they would make such a sacrifice to save the country. Liberal women? 'F' the country...what's in it for me?

“Just another reason to repeal sufferage. Women gave us Obozo in the first place because they bought into the whole touchy feely hope and change BS.”

You are right of course.

Present company, and precious few others, excepted.

[BigEdLB]

You may wish to disagree with me, but these polls can be debiased...
My rough calculation says, taking the bias out, the Presidential race at this time says Romney 49.8, Obama 45.2 at a minimum... if the ABC folks had done this honestly

[jmaroneps37]

They used 24% Republicans 35% Democrats when the reality is the country (as per Rasmussen) is 36% GOPer and 32% Democrat. Also just yesterday Gallup said women support Obama at only 49% a 7 point drop from his 56% in 2008. Gore and Kerry had 54% and 51% of women and still lost. This is pure psy-ops lies from the MSM - but of course the media would NEVER lie would they?

[newzjunkey]

Yawn.

There is always a gender gap no matter if it's a Republican or a Democrat who wins.

Clinton won reelection with an 11 point "gender gap."

Obama did no better than W's reelection with the gender gap, 7 points.

It means nothing. The last Republican to take a majority of both sexes was Bush41 in 1988 and Clinton only did it in 1992.

I'm with you!

[sergeantdave]

Let me guess: The lying Nazis at ABC and WP polled 75% liberal hags in NYC.

Whatta surprise.

[FedsRStealingOurCountryFromUs]

Just think, a built-in credit card slot for your voter ID! LOL

[Prole]

Why are Conservative women who give a d@mn about this Country going into the minority camp?

If the overwhelming majority of women pull the lever for Obama in 2012, then I will maintain the opinion that women should be systematically disallowed to vote.

They will remain a HUGE reason that American society is being destroyed by this Kenyan loser, just as they are a HUGE reason why he is in office right now.
