Absolutely false. One of the great myths of electoral politics these days is that the GOP always faces a daunting "gender gap" at the polls. The reality is just the opposite -- it is the Democrats who face a daunting "gender gap," in that their share of the male vote is usually much smaller than the GOP's share of the female vote.
Really..I wish that were true.
"The Gallup Organization, a major independent polling firm, concludes that in every presidential election since 1980 a gender gap has existed. Women have more often supported Democratic candidates while men have more often supported Republican candidates. In presidential elections the gap has ranged from 4 percent to 11 percent. In 1992 women voters supported Clinton in larger numbers than men by 4 percent. In the 2000 election, Al Gore won the women's vote by 11 percent."
While I will agree we may be able to get by with a 49-51 split, the point is the target group that we have to get on our side is unquestionably the female.
