Why Obama is so popular among women | President Barack Obama has a big lead in the critical swing states of Ohio and Florida, which can be attributed to a huge advantage among women voters.
Traditionally, Democrats have an advantage with women voters, but Obama’s advantage
among them has grown strikingly. He is now also gaining momentum among married
women voters in the two states, a group that previously backed Mitt Romney. “Women
are much more likely to think Barack Obama cares about them than Romney does,
and they think Barack Obama would do a better job than Mitt Romney on women’s
reproductive health issues, by two to one,” CBS News director of surveys Sarah
Dutton said. Over the past month, the gender gap has helped Obama gain a 10-point
lead in Ohio , according to the latest Quinnipiac University/CBS News/New York
Times poll, as well as a nine-point lead in Florida and a 12-point lead in Pennsylvania
. In Ohio , women prefer Obama over Romney by a margin of 25 points, 60 percent
to 35 percent. In Florida , women voters prefer Obama by 19 points, 58 percent
to Romney's 39 percent. Dutton said that single women are more likely than married
women to be younger, have lower incomes, and to be African American or Latino,
all groups that favor the president. The report said that Romney, meanwhile, has
an advantage among men in both swing states. But it's not wide enough to make
up for his lack of female support.
