“With un-favorability ratings this deep and with Gingrich trailing women voters by 20-points, this is not a candidate that can be seriously considered as electable even if his agenda is dyed-in-the-wool conservatism.”
Reagan had a HUGE gender gap also. But it doesn’t matter in this type of election year. The ONLY issue that the 2012 vote will be decided on is Obama. If people are (somehow) convinced that he’s taking the country in the right direction, he gets another term. If not, he’s done.
Gallup-USA has Obama givin’ Newt a thumpin’ by over 12-points. This was not the margin Carter had over Reagan. Carter cratered over the botched attempt to rescue the US hostages in Iran.
