Obama Surpasses Romney in Swing States, Helped by Women
ABC ^ | April 2, 2012 | Devin Dwyer

Posted on 04/02/2012 5:34:49 PM PDT by ConservativeStatement

A majority of registered voters across 12 swing states for the first time backs President Obama over likely GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney for the November election, according to a new USA Today/Gallup poll.

Obama leads Romney by a 51 to 42 percent margin, the poll found. In February, the president trailed Romney in the swing state match-up, 46 to 48 percent. The poll’s margin of error is plus or minus 4 points.

The shifting tide of support in Obama’s favor was driven by women under 50, fewer than half of whom supported the president in a February USA Today/Gallup poll but swung significantly the other way last month.

Well, women love Bill Clinton so this shouldn't be a shock.

Add in all the illegal and dead-people votes and he’s a shoo-in.

The state run “media” sure is making women look dumb. Women need to rise up and tell them to knock it off with this kind of lying crap.

ABC? “Registered voters”? Let me guess...the sample was 65% Rats,15% “Independent” and 20% Republican.

It was USA Today/Gallup but same difference. On the bright side, maybe we won't have to be subjected to the Obama-swimming photo in order to sway undecided women.

ABDNC says it so it must be true, he can always fall back on Head of the Chicago Olympic committee.

Fake poll with fake results.

Look at the source and look at the lack of internals. Let’s just remember the devastatingly poor polls that came out on Obummer last week with Likely Voters. This is the Obummer MSM manufacturing news to make him look electable. He is not.

I looked and looked for the breakdown. I could not find it anywhere. I looked at another poll with similar numbers. In a recent abc poll of wisconsin voters these were the demographics;

Q Generally speaking, do you think of yourself as a Republican, a Democrat, or an Independent?
(first number is the actual number the 2nd is the percentage)
Republican 0
Democrat 190 27
Independent 234 33
Other/No preference (v) 255 36
Don’t know (v) 16 2
Refused (v) 11 2

I couldn’t help noticing that NO republicans were polled for the republican primary!

Just like this mornings posting of this drivel, I'm sure there will be many FReepers ready to lap this up and wring their hands.

Seriously folks...do you really buy this poll? It smells like pure unadulterated B.S.! Obama has been hitting rock bottom with female voters (wonder why the bogus contraceptive controversy arose?), now all of a sudden, these same women are in full support of this Marxist Bastard? Give me a break!

Rush spoke about this today:

“USA Today/Gallup did not provide their methodology. We don't know, we can't get to the internals of the poll, but what we do know, one thing that we have learned, is that the vast majority of women in the poll self-identified as Democrats. Something like 41 to 24% of the women in the poll identified as Democrats.”

Rush sees this poll as Bull Sh*t, and so do I!

Romney is Obama lite - he can not beat Obama

Only Dr. Ron Paul can beat Obama

Poll after Poll show this

If conservatives want to take back the White House - support Ron Paul

Hope you don't take this too personally, but Ron Paul is not only an abject dolt, he's also an antisemitic, isolationist, hate-America First nutcase!

Let me guess, you probably listen to Mike Church?

Dr. Paul is nuttier than a fruitcake!

I don’t know. I think it’s pretty common among liberal women and SOME very gullible independent women. I have discussed this and overheard some conversations among women I go to school with that have them asserting that the Republicans are evil and out to “send women back to the dark ages,” kind of talk.

Republican women — much less gullible and not easily swayed, of course.

Some women, seriously, seem to have brains the size of peas.

The real gap is the marriage gap. The so-called gender gap is mostly caused by single women. Married women are more Republican than single men. The biggest gap of all is between single men and single women.

My sister-in-law, a terrific person, always voted Dem until she married my brother and brought a son in the world. She has used words such as “embarrassed” when she remembers some of the libs she help elect.
