"Significantly"? Not according to Dick Morris: "The worst thing about the new Zogby show that has Obama down five points to McCain (as opposed to his July lead of seven points) is that there is now virtually no gender gap in the race. In July, Obama was getting 53% of the support of women as opposed to 47% among men. But now he is winning only 43% of women and 41% of men, so while his male support is down by six points, his female backing is off by ten points."

And men can bury him.
Not this woman! Ever
Like we never heard this one before.
Another idiot reporter from a dying newspaper.
I once did a simple analysis from the Clinton elections in the 1990s, when the “gender gap” was first discussed.
Bill Clinton may have had more women voting for him, significantly more, but it was largely due to the 95% - 5% majorities of blacks.
Meaning, subtract away the huge black differences and the rest of American women split almost 50:50.
So while women do vote for Dems more than Repubbies, it is more a “race gap” than a gender gap.
"It has been a mixed week for Sen. Barack H. Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential candidate. On the one hand, a Reuters/Zogby poll announced that the junior senator from Illinois' 7-point lead over Sen. John McCain, has dissolved into a 5-point deficit."
He Haw! Hey Junior $inator, Obama, the Oreo. How are you doing down there with the Poll number Changes? Change can be a B$tch!
Bambi, baby, It ain't over until the fat lady sings.
This pos posing as a real journalism oped, is another example of why the fishwraps in America are going down the drain.
