CNSNews.com) - Barack Obama defeated Sen. John McCain 56 percent to 43 percent among female voters in the 2008 presidential election, according to the network exit poll, and Obamas job performance as president won the support of 70 percent of women early in his tenure.
But Gallup polling last week showed that only 41 percent of women now say they approve of the way Obama is handling his job as president. That is an all-time low--down from the previous low of 43 percent, which is what Obamas approval had been among women in each of the previous three weeks.
Obamas approval has dropped 11 points among women over the past three months. In the last week of May, according to the Gallup poll, the presidents approval among females was at 52 percent.
Obamas approval among women peaked at 70 percent in the week of Jan. 26-Feb. 1, 2009, his first full week in office.
US women who thought Zero would usher in the era of kumbaya and study war no more discovered he had burkahs and clitorectomies in mind for all of them, and fully supports war. In addition, his only transparency is that he’s no good at concealing his own eschewing of responsibility for the very things he’s doing but letting others take the fall for — Fast and Furious, the voter rights case against the New Black Panthers, his failure to close Gitmo, his failure to finish off the Taliban...
And just as when the light finally dawns regarding a cheating spouse, his earlier (and believed at the time) lies about Jeremiah Wright and a host of other things come back into current memory. The slide is going to get worse.
What this means is — just watch as Zero tries to co-opt this constituency with a federal gay marriage bill, along with more pro-abortion crap. It will happen.
