I knew that women voted slightly more often than men, but a 54/46 difference! I’m really taken aback. What did it look like in 2010?
(It does explain why the result turned out like it did in 2008!!)
Having a HARD time replying to you.. FR is SLOOOW here..
Can’t find the same data for 2010, since there was no national election. I doubt it was all that much different.
HERE is the poll that really encourages me though...

Ignore the headline... check out the political leanings of the “Likely Voters”... it’s at the very bottom. It shows a BIG drop in Democrats (4%) and a corresponding HUGE increase in Republicans..(7%). That, is GOOD NEWS for Romney.
And, that Gallup poll is NOT like all the other polls that come out every day. It’s a once-per-election cycle poll Gallup does, with 9,000 people.. and a Margin of Error of only 1%.
