CNN Graph: Why Do MEN like Obama less than WOMEN do?
Men seem to keep the dial lower for Obama and higher for McCain (compared to women).

Why do American men in the studio hate America?

23. It's sad to say but it has a LOT to do with race.
There are a lot of people men and women, black and white that won't vote for Obama because he's black. White men have a harder time than others voting for a black man. Most will give a bullshit reason but the reality is that he's black. Sad but true.

30. It's Partly a Basic Gender Difference
Women are more likely to show positive emotion even in a setting like that. Men are more reserved, even via electronic device.

36. Why Do DU'ers who know nothing of stats like to slur people?

You are sampling undecided voters to slur men.


Would you buy anything from any woman or man who can't make up their mind by now?



Then again there seem to be enough suckers buying what you are selling......
