(14,869 posts)It is different. And, even using that flawed comparison, the Rep number of 36% is a lot more encouraging than the 08 presidential exit polling of 43%.
Then, you also have to consider that 14% that didn't choose Rep or Dem which comes into play somewhere in all this as well.
Still. With the attacks that the Reps are laying down left and right on basic womens issues, the idea that approx 4 in 10 still support them is confounding. And that the party that at least hypothetically stands against them is only pulling 5 in 10 is also confounding.
When you take into account the way that minority women almost certainty skew toward Democrats, that means we are probably still only breaking even when it comes to Caucasian women. When When I consider that the opposition is the Republican Party, who would be content to literally consign women to legally be mindless brood mares. And to me, that is astounding. And not encouraging, when it comes to consideration of humanity, or the subset of humanity that calls itself American.
