Obama opens up significant lead in swing states due 2 women. Obama lead 2-1 among women under 50

Swing States Poll: A shift by women puts Obama in lead

In the fifth Swing States survey taken since last fall, Obama leads Republican front-runner Mitt Romney 51%-42% among registered voters just a month after the president had trailed him by two percentage points.

The biggest change came among women under 50. In mid-February, just under half of those voters supported Obama. Now more than six in 10 do while Romney's support among them has dropped by 14 points, to 30%. The president leads him 2-1 in this group.

I hope this holds and that women show up at the polls. We have a lot to lose. Many of us have seen that our rights are on the line for a long time, I hope more women are waking up to this now.

I think that everyone of them at least leans Democrat, none of them will have a Republican win. There should be more effort on the four states that only lean Republican it would be great if one or two of those states could be picked up by the Democrats. Personally I think that at this point in time you would have to be certifiable to vote Republican.
