We are watching our electoral battle of the sexes: Men vote GOP and women vote Dem.
Over the last 40 years, Nixon, Reagan, Bush & Bush won elections by winning more men than Dems won women. In other words, simple math!
We continue to hear that Gov Romney has a gender gap, or a problem with women.
Actually, it is Pres BO who has a problem with men. In other words, he has a bigger problem with men that Gov Romney has with women.
Let Dick Morris explain it:
"In fact, the gender gap is smaller now than it has been in recent
history. In 2004, 2000 and 1996, the gender gap was larger than it is in
the Rasmussen poll — and in the election of 2000 it was much larger."
The truth is Gov Romney is doing a lot better with women than Pres BO is with men.
There is your gender gap!
Why do men vote GOP and women vote Dem?
The answer is actually very complicated. The GOP has always done well with married white women with children. The numbers are even better if they attend church regularly.
The Dems' "male" problem is very real and based on the perception that the party is weak and soft on foreign policy. There are not a lot of white males in the Dem party anymore: White males fading among House Democrats
At the end of the day, this is all about numbers. Based on current numbers, it is Pres BO who has a "gender gap" problem.
