Women, particularly political independents, don’t like Rush Limbaugh. That was the finding of a poll released last week by Public Policy Polling. It reported that while 56 percent of men had a favorable opinion of Rush, just 37 percent of women did. Nearly half of women had an unfavorable opinion of the conservative radio phenomenon. The total gender gap was a whopping 31 points.
Rush dedicated part of his show last week to a “women’s summit,” in which women callers offered their perspective on why such a gap might exist and what the host might do to boost his popularity. The callers had plenty of advice—most of which had to do with Rush’s famous, tongue-in-cheek bombast and willingness to buck political correctness. Rush stated empathetically he isn’t going to change who he is or what makes his show such a success.
Hallelujah to that. There's no reason for the nation’s most successful radio host to worry about reaching female moderates and Democrats. Even from the broad perspective of the conservative movement, Rush’s greatest strength is his ability to educate his audience about political philosophy and key policy issues, and to rally the troops. Without a doubt, many open-minded women (and men) have had their minds changed by Rush. Making his show more milquetoast and less entertaining in the hopes of converting a few liberal ladies would be counterproductive, to say the least.

Ever heard of Palin?
Most women I know..... love RUSH.
RUSH is going to help spread the word about our stupidity in the white house.....
GO RUSH GO!
Making the GOP more milquetoast and less conservative in the hopes of converting a few liberal ladies would be even more counterproductive, to say the least.
“56 percent of men had a favorable opinion of Rush, just 37 percent of women did”
Those are incredibly good numbers.
I think it be difficult. Women are more emotional thinkers than Men. Thats why Women tends to be more left wingers
I am a woman and love Rush. I actually have been thinking about this lately and want to start a Coservative women organization. I have a small plan. Building in my mind and hopefully can get it together soon.
GOP needs to win women? Woooow insightful. Rush Limbaugh doesn’t need to win women because...wait for it...HE’S NOT RUNNING FOR OFFICE? Very informative article. Who is the author Sherlock Holmes?
Politically incorrect? Bombastic? That what I like about him. As a politically incorrect female Republican I find him entertaining and informative. And if he has the left crying like little babies so much the better.
And yet 37% have a favourable opinion of El Rushbo? Those are good numbers.
You can’t please everyone, and it would be folly to try.
Grouping ppl is not the way to go. Just articulate conservatism.
Reagan did it. Hello?
More like Nancy Drew's dimwit sister.
You’re Conservative, or your not. What is so hard about that?

Not all American women of course just most.
*Women are more emotional thinkers than Men. Thats why Women tends to be more left wingers*
A very insecure male would say that.
Especially one who has doubts about his masculinity.
Abortion and the issue of choice is the main driver for the gender gap.
Palin actaully polled lower with women than men.
Yeah, the GOP can get along just fine without us pesky broads. We need to just stay pregnant, barefoot, and in the kitchen, right?
