538 Blog: ‘Gender Gap’ Near Historic Highs

If only women voted, President Obama would be on track for a landslide re-election, equaling or exceeding his margin of victory over John McCain in 2008. Mr. Obama would be an overwhelming favorite in Ohio, Florida, Virginia and most every other place that is conventionally considered a swing state. The only question would be whether he could forge ahead into traditionally red states, like Georgia, Montana and Arizona.

If only men voted, Mr. Obama would be biding his time until a crushing defeat at the hands of Mitt Romney, who might win by a similar margin to the one Ronald Reagan realized over Jimmy Carter in 1980. Only California, Illinois, Hawaii and a few states in the Northeast could be considered safely Democratic. Every other state would lean red, or would at least be a toss-up.

Although polls disagree on the exact magnitude of the gender gap (and a couple of recent ones seemed to show Mitt Romney eliminating the president’s advantage with women voters), the consensus of surveys points to a large one this year — rivaling the biggest from past elections.

If only women voted Romney would be heading into an easy victory, and the reason for that is women are a heck-of-lot smarter than democrat strategists take them for. Very few women who are voters are going to base their vote on reproductive rights. And most women realize the disparity between the highest wages paid to women versus men is because women, generally speaking, have a full set of duties beyond a job which makes them less competitive.

The Lilly Ledbetter act helps trial lawyers and hurts women because its primary benefit is to enable lawsuits for women who can prove they were paid less than their male counterpart in the workplace. That threat is a scarlet letter, meaning employers will give a lot more thought before hiring a woman because a woman can bring a lawsuit based on her own perceptions, making her employment potentially a cause for legal action and comcommittant legal expenses.

I guess that's why the polls show the big lead Obama once had with women has shrunk to nearly even.

Well shit a Liberal Blog says it, it must be true.

This is getting pathetic. If only women were allowed to vote, Donald Trump would win in a landslide.

So you're saying that Obama has a "man" problem. I wonder if it's because of stuff like this:

I'm embarrassed to admit that men are obviously more politically savvy than women.

Wise up suckeretts and silly biches...Your gullibility is making us all look bad!

No there not the media just likes to promote the false impression that the majority of women are liberal and the only issues that concern them are abortion and birth control.

 

[Rct_Tsoul]

Its ok, Obama has a plan for birth control.

Gender Gap Wider than Ever!

Uh-huh....Suuuuure....

Then suddenly, a couple of weeks ago, Obama's edge with women began to melt away. More than any other group, women have accounted for Romney's surge in the polls, which has now given him a slim lead in the national popular vote and in some calculations of the electoral college. Women, it appeared, were not as firmly ensconced in Obama's camp as they had seemed. Indeed, they were abandoning the president en masse.


The evidence that Obama finds himself bleeding women's votes can be seen in how aggressively his campaign has sought to steer the conversation back to women's issues. Campaigning a few miles from here on Friday, Obama stood at a podium flanked by "Women's Health Security" banners; he was introduced by Cecile Richards, the president of Planned Parenthood, and spoke against a backdrop of risers filled exclusively with women, holding turquoise "FORWARD." signs.

Get's what ? A BJ for lying through his ass just to keep your affirmative action boy in the White House ?

Women should not vote anyway, they need to shut up, clean up, and make babies, Obamacare will pay for the child birth.

Obama is fucking Lilly Ledbetter up the ass in the oval office, and women want to vote for him?
Obama's record on paying women White House aides not stellar - Washington Times

But President Obama's own record on closing the gender pay gap is less than stellar. Using late 2011 figures, the latest available at the time, The Washington Times earlier this year surveyed 121 White House employees who were paid at least $100,000 and found that 47 were women and 74 were men. That is only slightly better than in 2003, the third year of the Bush administration, when 39 of the top 121 employees were women.

When all White House employees are considered, the Obama administration's record dims a bit further. Female employees earn a median salary of $60,000, roughly 18 percent less than men, whose median salary is $71,000.
