There is NO GENDER GAP. And I will repeat that often.
The so-called deficit among women voters comes from one source -- the fact that 95% of black voters, half of whom are women, are voting for Obama. And that skews the overall number.

You can target all women, but the women you need to get aren't "gettable".

You could just as easily say that it's the poor putting Obama over the top. Last survey I saw, Obama and Romney (didn't see a generic GOP candidate) were split pretty evenly at all income levels EXCEPT below $50,000, where Obama has an edge, but not as big of an edge as he had over McCain in 2008.

Actually, I think there is in every election, a gender gap, I mean. The GOP gets painted as the bogeymen who want to make children starve, and let granny die alone, and a lot of women, every ethnicity, buy into it. It is changing, though, at least I hope so.
