Shock Poll: Romney now leads among women
Washington Examiner ^ | MAY 15, 2012 | Paul Bedard

Posted on 05/15/2012 8:30:57 AM PDT by RobinMasters

President Obama’s claim that the GOP is mounting a war on women has proven to be a failure. A month into his assault on the Republicans and Mitt Romney, the new CBS-New York Times poll shows that the GOP presidential candidate now leads among women--and men.

Since April, women have gone from strongly backing Obama to endorsing Romney. In April, Obama held a 49 percent to 43 percent lead among women. That has now flipped to 46 percent backing Romney with 44 percent for Obama, an 8-point switch.

Ironically, Romney’s support among men has dropped, but he still edges Obama 45 percent to 42 percent.

And here’s a surprise: Despite the media hyping the so-called war on women, no major outlet today noticed Romney’s new lead with women voters.

“This is unbelievable,” said conservative consultant Greg Mueller. “The CBS story manages to not mention the change in women numbers,” he said, adding sarcastically. “No media bias here -- Obama is getting fluffy stories about his commencement speech to women at Barnard -- so we better bury the reality.”

But, but.......the liberals have told us that women are outraged about the war on women. The liberals have told us that women fear having birth control taken away. The liberals have told us that women fear being forced to undergo ultrasound procedures in private bodily regions. The liberals told us that women earn 70 cents on the dollar, and that Republicans want to keep women down in so many ways.

Did the liberals lie about all of that??????

The jungle fever appeal faded once they announced Obama was gay.

Now, they got Mitt, who's creepy but at least he's straight.

Just for entertainment: here is a post over at our favorite libs website with their panic-ing comments as reality hits them in the face. Looks like the American people are letting them down.

Example comment : 33. Apparently, a lot of poll respondents think bullying is a-ok. nt ,
LOL, Sorry, this is funny.

CBS News/NY Times poll: Romney leads Obama (DU post with destressed lib comments )

Some of the other threads there are recommending pulling out all the stops at throwing any mud they can at MR including attacking him for being a Mormon. They are getting pretty angry over there. Very entertaining!

*rubs hands together gleefully*

I know it’s a long ways until November, but this is just beautiful. It’s been a long, long time since I’ve seen a political ploy as obvious and contrived as Team Obama’s “GOP War on Women.” I also find it, by extension, condescending. Axelrod and his ilk must not think very much of voters, especially women voters, to think that many of them would really buy into it.

Mitt will make it easier for the private sector to create jobs for women and their grown kids that are living at home. Women have been hit hard by the Obama collapse.

Even before the "gay marriage" flip-flop, I think the "composite girlfriend" revelations put a big 'ol blip on the average straight female voter's gaydar.

At the very least, it makes Obama come across like an internet dating site fraudster.

RE :”the left is not saying “let them win” and we will get everything and more next time.

Anymore than Republicans did in 2004.

The dynamics are very similar except Obama was lucky to have Pelosi lose the House so he can run against Republicans this year and try to blame them for everything.

Liberals have a big advantage over conservatives, their candidate really believes what they believe. Obama is a committed liberal/progressive (over here the more popular term is ‘Marxist’) What does Romney believe in?

That is true with Pelosi versus Boehner too. Pelosi is a true believer, what does Boehner believe in?

It's just bad, lose-lose.

There is not going to be much positive left to ‘win’ in fours years either way.

About 17 months ago Cavuto asked Jim DeMint if he would run for POTUS. He replied “Hell no! Why would I want a job like that?”

I wonder if even this is true. I'm sure there are plenty of gays, particularly affluent ones, who are more concerned with the state of the economy than they are with marriage. Honestly, I wonder just how huge an issue gay marriage even is to the gay population as a whole.

Well, for one thing, the only thing "Republican" about Romney is his party registration; other than that, he has been a steadfast proponent of five major liberal causes: state-run medicine, subsidized abortion on-demand, global warming cap--and-trade, "compassionate" activist liberal judges, and the homosexual agenda. People -- even liberals -- know this, so it's always a wink-wink when calling Romney a "Republican."

For another thing, Romney has always appealed to women because he is very handsome and conveys a nice, safe, Daddy's-Home security of "the grown-ups are here" that appeals to Mommy-state minds. Of course, sadly, people don't remember that a person who assumes "grown-up" status among "children" ends up treating the "children" who oppose him with contempt and condescension. And those "children" would be conservatives in the case of Romney.

That this is regarded as a "shock poll" is laughable.

>>The jungle fever appeal faded once they announced Obama was gay.<<

You know, I hadn’t thought of the Newsweek cover from that perspective before. When Clinton managed to become known as the “First Black President,” it was probably obvious to most of the dimmer-witted Dem voters (the ones who think the comedy shows are news shows) that it was metaphorical, and not real.

However, that same Dem voter demographic, looking at Newsweek’s cover, probably went, “Really, he’s gay?”

And many of the women among them are probably now looking elsewhere for their next leader, while the next Obama campaign challenge is how to explain to them that they’re too stupid to understand a metaphor. Maybe hire Reggie Love to make the pitch?

This stuff is too good to make up. It could be a really fun campaign season.

Actually the Dems have THEIR women voters pegged correctly. Liberal women have always thought Republicans hate women, so Obama and his friends' comments fit right in with their worldview.

It's all those other women who don't swallow the Democrat Snake Oil, who didn't buy into the idea of the 'War on Women'. That's why Mitt's numbers among women are going up.

Last week Mark Levin had a lesbien caller. She was not happy with 0bama and said she would not vote for him but would reluctantly vote for Romney. It was an economic issue with her.

That's the thing. While Obama is clearly trying to court gay voters, Romney himself isn't exactly adversarial when it comes to gay issues either. It's not like gays have to choose between Obama on one side and Fred Phelps on the other. I'll bet Romney picks up a lot of gay voters, mainly for economic issues but also because Romney is a guy they "could live with".
