Walmart Moms are Putting Obama Over the Top in Swing States

[catzmeow]

The biggest divergence between these battleground-state polls and national surveys is Obama’s performance among white women without a college education. These women have tilted Republican in every presidential election since 1980 except 1996, and in 2008, Obama won only 41 percent of them. The three recent national surveys showed Obama attracting between 35 percent (Heartland Monitor) and 44 percent (Pew) of their votes.

But in the battleground states, especially in the Midwest, Obama’s performance is stronger. Among these women, the state-level polls show Obama drawing 46 percent in Michigan, 48 percent in Florida, 49 percent in Nevada, 50 percent in New Hampshire and Wisconsin, 51 percent in Pennsylvania, and 52 percent in Ohio and Iowa. Obama still lags badly among them only in North Carolina and Virginia, where many blue-collar whites are also evangelical Christians, and to a lesser extent Colorado.

Beyond the opposition’s portrayal of Romney as obtuse to the problems of working families, both sides agree that he has been hurt among blue-collar white women by the skirmishes over defunding Planned Parenthood and access to contraception in health insurance. Many of these women view such women’s-health matters not as moral issues but as practical pocketbook concerns. The combined effect of all this is measured in the most recent CBS News/New York Times/Quinnipiac survey in Ohio, which found that while about three-fifths of noncollege white women agreed that Obama “cares about the needs and problems of people like you,” roughly an equal number of them said Romney did not.

Republican support of the Catholic hierarchy on birth control pills + Akin/Ryan "legitimate rape" stance + 47% speech = how republicans are losing an election they should really have won.

Tone deaf and stupid is no way to go through life, Republicans.

p.s. I wonder if people like Allie Babble will blame themselves for this loss? Or, if they're capable of that sort of internal self-awareness?

Works for me. It makes sense that struugling family women have figured out that they can't trust Mitt as far as they can throw him.

Walmart Mom's....you know...those mothers and wives and workers and single parents who have to deal with the downsizing, exporting, off-shoring of jobs and the reduced income of the economic downturn which Republican policies caused and have prolonged for partisan political purposes.

In other words....those 47% Mitt Romney isn't worried about and doesn't need to consider.

Right?

rightfully so,

Obama has done as well or better as could have been expected ... Romney is a throwback to the Great Recession and they know it.

Only the poor are the freeloaders. Corporations never receive subsidies or bailouts. All those thousands of lobbyists sent to D.C. by corporations are there to work for the betterment of mankind.
