NPR: 60% of undecided voters are women & breaking HEAVILY for The President-75% vs. ROMNEY 25%

[kpete]

Since July, undecided voters have been "as a whole breaking for Obama," Vavreck says.

"About 60 percent of undecided voters are women," she says, "and women undecided voters who have made up their minds are breaking heavily for the president — 75 percent for Obama, 25 percent for Romney."

In key swing states — Virginia, Florida, Ohio, Iowa, New Mexico and Colorado — the number of undecided voters comes out to about 900,000 people.

As former Clinton White House adviser Paul Begala called it, "The American president will be selected by fewer than half the number of people who paid to get into a Houston Astros home game last year."

2. If this is true...

Then we win.

And it's because of Romney shooting himself in his own foot on women's issues.

ETA: This could also bode well for us in the down-ticket races as women throw the republican't bums out.

3. Good news but headline ambiguous

A cursory read makes it seem like they are breaking for Romney 75 to 25

6. Exactly.

But professional journalism is dead. As is editing and rewrite.

14. +1

It went the way of radio and through the same (Clear) channels.

8. my thought, too... not until i read the message text did it become clear.

but, all is good in the end!

4. I honestly cannot wrap my mind around a woman voting for Rmoney

9. The article claims they are breaking for Obama. But the headline is bad.

[etherealtruth]

10. I understood that ...

(but, I agree the head line "kinda sucks&quot ... my comment has more to do with not being able to fathom a woman voting for Rmoney (understanding that women are "breaking for Obama" ... but, confused how any woman could vote for that misogynistic elitist piece of garbage Rmoney)

5. This is precisely why Big Bird has been given the death sentence.

7. Naw...naw...NPR doesn't have an LV..RV..ABD DEG model so that makes proper BS to GOP...

...so...they can't be right

11. Nevermind. You fixed it. R&K

75% to 25% for Romney

But, that's okay. Once I clicked through, I figured it out. Just thought I'd mention it.

Regardless, your post earns a:

12. Paul Begala is correct! That's why we need to do away with the friggin electoral college

already! How can we have a government of, by, for the people when we have Electors choosing the next president? It's easier to steal elections when you only have a few battleground states that will decide who gets the most Electors. It's MUCH harder and impossibly expensive to steal an election when every vote really does count.

15. Clear

"About 60 percent of undecided voters are women," she says, "and women undecided voters who have made up their minds are breaking heavily for the president — 75 percent for Obama, 25 percent for Romney."

16. This is good news.

Thanks for posting.

17. I feel the women are there but

I'm very concerned about the voting machines. I'm afraid that may be the Repubs "nasty ace in the hole". I don't put anything past them.

18. The one's that break to Romney

The "undecided" voters that are breaking for Romney are the bigoted racists who have decided that they will vote for the lying, incompetent Mormon because they would never vote for a black man (no matter how much good he's accomplished).
