Married women in Florida running to Romney?

[davidn3600]

Yes I know it's Fox News, but their new poll is showing a massive lead for Romney in Florida with married women. Their poll shows Romney has a 13 point advantage with these women. That's almost double from the same poll a month ago.

And yes the poll was taken after the 2nd debate.

Obama is holding a strong advantage with single women. But he's losing a ton of married women.

7. You should have stopped at

"Yes, I know it's Fox News ..."

Obama is "losing a ton of married women"? Is that a by-weight measurement, or an individual count?

FAUX-News - For those who like their information 100% fact-free!

10. And who are they polling? White, middle class

women? Those still in a retirement village in the middle if the state that still have a husband?

Romney had them. They don't ever think they will have to think about an abortion (because they want all their spawn- never considering that their health may be endangered), they drive big cars, spend days at the spa and going to tennis. They don't really pay attention to much unless the husband loses a job or loses money that cuts back in their lifestyle and the SUV.

Until they face a hardship, they don't get it and won't take the time to get it... They took their time to "marry" the right type of guy. There are quite a few that make sure they find the right husband. And at the same time have no problem showing up at the hotel in the middle of the day when everyone is away for an affair. We have a few mid-day lunch ladies and gents. Cash always; and "I'm not here" types.

It's rather disgusting, but they would rather have a certain life than live one of struggle. So, they r voting for a similar man that they married.

Then their are the older folks in the Villages; who are basically all republicans riding around in their golf carts.

And then their are so called "pious" Christian judgemental one's who are taught that voting for a Democrat is like worshipping Satan.

And then their are the redneck morons who don't have a clue, but certainly don't want that "you know what" defiling the White House... "You know it's the "white house for a reason". Basic morons.

Then there are reasonable people and different ethnicities that seem to be under polled and the piles try to do everything to keep "those people" from voting.

FL is one F'd up place. I wish I could get on out... One day maybe sanity reaches this odd ball state OR I leave.

14. FLorida has so many different micro-segments of population, no wonder it's a f'd up place.

That said, sheer population numbers would indicate to me that it *should go for Obama. But like most places, Democrats are clustered in a few places, and the rest of the state is red. Obviously the women vote will be key this time, so it is important to watch. But how on earth Romney can win the womens vote is beyond my male mind. He might win big among the evangelical voters, and values voters in the places that are deep south (the north of Florida, Panhandle, etc) but I think among younger women, working women, single women, etc even in those areas won't be inclined to vote for Romney.

16. You forget Senior Women

whole LOT of them in Florida, who besides the issues of Medicare and Social Security, will have ADULT DAUGHTERS who will be affected by the Republican's War on Women.

11. They make up anything they want so don't believe this poll. They are just like gallup.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

12. Running

in binders?

[LiberalFighter]

17. Isn't this old news?

Meaning that married women had already been consider favoring Romney over Obama.

But the single women lead much higher???

I think Fox is rehashing old news to make it look like there is traction in Romney's favor.

[LiberalFighter]

18. By the way. ef Fox News. They are unreliable.

And a reminder to everyone. Fox News won a court case a while back that says it is okay for them to lie on tv.

[McCamy Taylor]

19. I don't believe it.

20. Women aren't immune from the "I got mine, so fuck you" mentality

Issues that are of vital importance to single women -- equal pay, non-discriminatory health insurance rates, safe access to abortion and emergency contraception, etc. -- just aren't on the radars of many middle-class, white, married women.
