Women tend to support Obama by a few more percentage points than men. That is true. However, I think that there is a significant split in married vs. un-married women.
Once again, I am a bit out of the mainstream in that most women I know don’t like Obama either. I guess I just have good friends.
Of the women that I know who support Obama, almost all of these women are single, some with children.

That is more than the entirety of the “gender gap”. Single mothers overwhelmingly support Democrats. married mothers with children who live at home strongly support Republicans. Women who are not single mothers are pretty much split between the parties.
