Obama makes huge gainst with women in battleground states

[mercury14]

Female voters in battleground states are rallying around President Obama in droves, according to a new USA Today/Gallup poll released Monday, suggesting a gender gap could pose one of the Republicans' biggest challenges in this fall's general election race.

Obama led Mitt Romney by 18 percentage points among female registered voters in the nation's top 12 swing states. The gender gap between Obama and Rick Santorum was 15 points. USA Today reports that this is the "first significant lead" the president has held in these key voting states.

Those leads represent big gains for the president, compared to previous swing state polls conducted by USA Today/Gallup, according to USA Today:

"The biggest change came among women under 50. In mid-February, just under half of those voters supported Obama. Now more than six in 10 do while Romney's support among them has dropped by 14 points, to 30%. The president leads him 2-1 in this group."

Recent Quinnipiac University polls conducted in Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania bore out similar results. Female voters supported the president over Romney or Santorum by 6 to 19 percentage points in these three states.

The conservative narrative is that Obama actually lost support with women over the birth control issue though.

You seriously think there are women out there who were going to vote for Romney, but switched to Obama because the media told them Santorum wanted to make birth control illegal? Any woman that dumb deserves to be Obama's useful idiot.

3% is "huge"? That's usually within the margin of error.

Yes there are women out there who have soured on the GOP brand because of your birth control crap and trans-vaginal ultrasound laws.

3% where are you getting that number?

What "birth control crap" are you referring to, exactly?

Tell me, I'll wait.

'Cos the only birth control crap out there comes from the media trying to scare people into voting for their guy.

Oh you don't have to wait.

I'm referring to the Republican Party's opposition to insurance companies providing standardized birth control and efforts to defund if not abolish Planned Parenthood. That's not media scare, that's their position.

What's that 3% number you mentioned? I'll wait.

The problem is, the things a man has to say to get the GOP nomination guarantee he will not win the general election.

Republicans seem happy with the situation, which is kind of strange.
