Aha! That weird little Romney bump in female approval explained. (Serious post) [View all]

[cthulu2016]

Lawrence pointed this out tonight.

Remember that poll a week or two ago where Romney had a jump of approval among women?

He became the Republican nominee. As he clinched the primaries he picked up 21% among Republican women. A lot of Republican women must have been been holding out hope for Santorum or Gingrich or Herman Cain (very popular with the ladies, I hear)

I will admit to some prejudice here. When you say "women" I don't naturally think of a group that includes a lot of Republican women. My bad.

So it had not occurred to me that some RW women had been disapproving of Romney for being too liberal, and then came around.
