It's all in the poll question that they ask;
"What is it about (insert female Democrats name here) that you don't find likable"?
Voila! Polls show Dem female candidates have a "likability" issue.

If male candidates did, we sure wouldn't have ended up with this repulsive idiot we have now.

(4,611 posts)Lots of male candidates (and potential candidates) have likeability issues. Dubya "won" in part because he was the candidate people "wanted to have a beer with."

(42,641 posts)Polls can be crafted to "prove" whatever the pollster wishes to prove.
And women candidates are judged by a different standard.
A man is a firm leader, while a woman behaving the same way is unlikeable.
A man is making a valid point, while a woman making the same point in the same manner is being rude.
