Obama easily beating Romney among U.S. women: Reuters/Ipsos poll

Just like the economy is getting better?

Just proves, once again, American women are smarter than American men. Even when it comes to voting against the Evil of two Lessers.

I refuse to vote for humpty or dumpty in the next election.

If American women are indeed smarter than men, they would vote for Ron Paul.

RON PAUL 2012

of course hes down 21% with women since 2009 and trails romney 49 to 45% in gallup

I though that the argument was that if you give women the right to vote then we’ll get a lot better leaders than when men made up the electorate. Hmmm.

Women definitely have made themselves felt as a political force. But we’re still getting leaders on every level that aren’t worth 2 cents.

I don’t see that women are doing any better than men as far as what leaders we get is concerned. Things are going down fast for America, and women haven’t stopped it. The decline of America is accelerating, in fact.

I blame women just as much as I blame men for that trend. Women are just as much a part of the problem as men are.

If women had never been given the vote, we’d be in just about the same place as we are today, except we might have gotten here just a little faster or a little slower, but not enough to make a real difference.

Ladies, you’ve had your chance to save America from all the negative effects of male domination, and you’ve not succeeded. We’re headed for the ditch.

This should come as no surprise. Women tend to be more practical then men, smarter when it comes to politics. When there’s a lot of propaganda being blasted throughout our homes as there is now, the men are easily led astray. People like Karl Rove and those behind the Swiftboat attack on John Kerry know just how to reach men–make them feel threatened and that they’re losing control. The Democrats are after your guns; they want big government to control your life; they’re threatening your religion; gays; abortion; a strong military vs. a weak military, etc, etc. The men, in particular, on the right make it all so easy for those like Karl Rove. That’s why every election the Republicans can fall back on the same worn-out tricks and every election they work.

It’s not that women, too, aren’t also affected by propaganda, but women have more confidence in their instincts because they do a better job of nurturing those instincts. When something doesn’t feel right, they question it, where as a man is more likely to just go with whatever information they come across. This probably comes from centuries of child rearing by women. They’ve had to understand their children better than their children understood themselves, regardless of what the children or “the male experts” are telling them. The children’s lives depended on it.

It was this way in Germany when the Nazi’s came to power. There were more women questioning what was going on than men, only women didn’t have any power. And that didn’t work out so well. Fortunately for the world, that’s changing.

It’s imperative that the American people not be distracted by the millions of dollars being spent to get us to see things that don’t exist. Some things are just obvious and we mustn’t lose sight of, like the shape the economy was in when Obama came to office, an economy that was the result of Republican policies, and how Obama has turned much of that around with Democratic policies, even though many of the Republican policies are still in place, and still holding us back. There really is such thing as taxes being too low and women understand this better than men. We’ve had two straight years of monthly job growth, a stark contrast to the last two years under George W. Bush. We can’t afford more war. We must do a better job of educating our children and making affordable healthcare available. These are the kinds of things that the Republicans will most certainly ignore, and even make worse. Lowering taxation to our historical lows when investment in our country couldn’t be more imperative and when those at the very top of the economic ladder are amassing wealth at historically high rates just makes absolutely no sense. Regardless of what the propaganda is telling us, women in particular understand that limiting the majority of our nation’s wealth to a few is a recipe for a disastrous future, a future that our children will be left to grapple with.

Young women support Obama. Older women don’t. So the people who have raised a family and earned a living aren’t as convinced as those still soaked in school propaganda about Obama’s ability with the economy and jobs, or about his sincerity with “women’s issues”. Interesting that.

But as long as men vote for men, and women vote for men, none of this really matters, does it?

Yep, Obama is beating Romney with women for the time being, but by the time election time rolls around, most of them will understand what an inept steward of the economy Obama has been, as well as have figured out that the so called “Republican War on Women” is nothing more than a cheap Democrat campaign slogan. And the massive number of women that have lost their jobs under Obama’s watch will be ready to try someone different.

Well now that IS very interesting, JVL, because I can’t seem to find where this poll we’re discussing has made the distinction in women’s ages that you have pointed out. Can you share that link with us, or did you just pull that out of some orifice, hopefully your own?

This perfectly demonstrates what I’m talking about in my post above. Though what you have posted may not technically be propaganda, it certainly demonstrates the willingness on the part of rightwing males to facilitate the propaganda that is floating about. When the facts don’t support the rightwing agenda, new contrary “facts” must be introduced by people on the right, usually males. Just sticking with the facts won’t cut it.

Jerry5200: Besides more war, more tax cuts for the wealthy, and more deregulating, what is Romney proposing that Bush and the Republicans didn’t propose during Bush’s disastrous tenure?

Women are smart. They will soon realize Obama has failed everyone: men, women, and children.

GOP continues to wonder why alienating women…. alienates women.

Here’s a hint. When you assemble an all-male legislative committee to devise a new requirement called ‘trans-vaginal scoping procedures for women’….. you’re alienating women. When the smartest woman you send to the podium is Sarah Palin or Michele Bachmann…. you’re alienating women. When ‘family values’ starts to mean, “Here’s how to raise your family and here are some new laws to help you remember”…. you’re alienating women. And then some.

GOP, lose the tea or lose the race. It’s that simple.

Let me guess out of the 1042 voters polled, 700 were Democrats and 342 were Republicans. From your passed polls this is what one should expect. Notably you don’t mention this detail this time. There is likely a good reason for your omission.

Gallup has Romney ahead of Obama. This poll would mean something if only women voted, but alas, men vote too.

The fact that anyone believes in either party is baffling. It will be a relief when all the cards come tumbling down in the west. The dam can not keep being plugged and compromised for the sake of minorities and special interest. They can’t print money fast enough for all the hand outs. The show must end and a new begining must ensue. That is the only way out.

moonhill: Ahh, I see. So the Gallup poll is meaningful because it has Romney ahead (by 2 pts, well within the margin of error) but this Reuters/Ipsos poll is meaningless because…because why? Because it has Obama ahead? Because it’s focused on women and they don’t matter? What exactly are you saying? Obama is still beating Romney among men in the Reuters/Ipsos poll, 47 to 43. So only polls in which Romney is winning are legitimate? Why didn’t you mention the CNN poll, which has Obama ahead by 9 pts? And that article you got your Gallup poll from? You seemed to have missed this statement: “In most of the nationwide surveys, Obama has enjoyed a lead of 6 percent or more among registered voters.” So really the Gallup poll is the anomaly.

What makes your post laughable is that everyone reading this knows that if the Gallup poll had Obama ahead and the Reuters/Ipsos poll had Romney ahead, you’d be saying that it’s the Gallup poll that’s meaningless and that only the Reuters/Ipsos poll is relevant. Do you ever get embarrassed?

That’s because women don’t want the GOP in their vaginas and sex lives.

Women matter, but they aren’t all that matter because they aren’t the only ones voting. CNN has never been credible, they are just an extension of the Democratic party. Reuters leans to the left as well. The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 25% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Thirty-nine percent (39%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -14.

@rasputyn

Ron Paul is not any better choice for those valuing Reproductive freedoms, than Romney. He maintains a belief that ‘life-begins at conception’, and quite willing to legislate reproductive rights and choices based on that belief. How do you think he ‘fits’ as a Republican? He never talks about his tyrannical reproductive beliefs in his Freedom speeches but you can find his stances on his website.

Looks like Ted Nugent and Barbara Bush are the only women still voting republican :)

Life in the cougar den. Cat scratch feeee-vuhhh

Yeah, girls know a good thing when they see it, after all they found that musical genius Justin Bieber right?

—————————————————-
I LOL’d so hard. Who do you think started Libya and Egypt and is behind the Syrian conflict? Who has half the US navy sitting in the Persian Gulf right now along with 100K soldiers ready to attack Iran?

I won’t even discuss the shredding of the constitution under his watch or equally grotesque spending which is only beginning to bubble to the surface, we’ll hear all about it in years to come.

@moonhill, President Obama’s executive disapproval rating looks pretty bad until it’s compared to that of Congress and even the Supreme court. Disapproval for Congress is about 80% and the Supreme Court is about 40%.

Romney likes to fire people, doesn’t care about poverty, parades around with a dog lashed to his car, and holds to a non-traditional view on marriage … issues that resonate with women.

LOL Of course they like President Obama more. The GOP spends a little too much time trying to dictate what women can or cannot do with their bodies. Just sayin…:)

The so called “War on Women” is nothing but a diversionary tactic to keep women from focusing on Obama’s abysmal record: 1. Fewer people employed than when Obama came in to office,

2. 92% of job losses since Obama came to office have happened to women.

3. Higher unemployment rate than when Obama came in to office, 4. More Americans on food stamps than any time in history, 5. Added more debt to the national debt in less than one term of office than reckless spender Bush did in two terms, 6. Blew off the recommendations of his own bipartisan debt commission to deal with the debt, and has no plan of his own to deal with debt, 7. Higher energy prices and less oil being produced on public lands (not private and state lands) than when he came in to office because his administration slow walks leasing and permits for oil and gas, 8. Created green jobs at a cost of 3.5 million dollars per job according to Washington Post. 9. Helped get the auto industry get restarted, but unnecessarily gave GM a $45 billion dollar forward tax loss credit during the bankruptcy proceeding that comes out of taxpayers pocket as foregone tax revenue. This is in addition to the 23 billion dollars that GM still owes taxpayers from original loans.

Don’t even need to vote anyone.
The media already knows who won.

not this one. I waited in line 4 hours last election to vote for Obama. Never again. I feel completely betrayed. I was as left as they come, and I’m now a convert to conservatism, thanks to Obama. And a staunch supporter of the 2nd amendment I might add, and never was that either.

@Jerry5200, Do you really believe #2? That doesn’t make a bit of sense.
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2012/apr/10/mitt-romney/romney-campaign-says-women-were-hit-hard-job-losse/

#1 and #3 are repeats but technically true, although never made historic highs and the rate has been ‘bought’ down. Ronald Reagan has the record at over 10% in ’82-’83. http://data.bls.gov/pdq/SurveyOutputServlet

#4 true, but more people were put on food stamps under Bush http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/story/2012-01-18/fact-check-gingrich-obama-food-stamps/52645882/1,

#6 Congress refuses to write or pass a balanced budget, make any cuts or increase taxes.

#7 Gas rights are privately owned and prices are world market driven. Emerging overseas market demands will likely counter any supply overages by home sources. 2013 is going to be very interesting.

#5, #8, and #9 likely all true, wasted a bunch bailing out rich Solyndra investors. He is king of spending our money, especially for big business supporters that turn around and kick some back. That is the politics game today, thanks to Citizens United (ultra-conservative non-profit group) and the Supreme Court.

It is interesting that the GOP thinks 60 billion is appalling overspending for Food stamps but dismisses 130 billion in earmark requests in 2011 as insignificant. Granted i guess that ONLY 20 billion-ish were approved…could not find actual approved dollars. Same old political non-sense all fighting for the power to tap and spend the Nation’s money (our tax money). The Nation seems to be headed for bankruptcy.

The data could have resulted in an article saying men prefer Romney and hold healthcare low on their priority list because they know they need jobs to eat…so who is more practical?

Men even favored Obama over Romney on family values – with 45 percent picking the Democrat versus 40 percent for Romney.

Excuse me, but since when is a five point spread “even”?

Since women never make up their minds until the last possible second this is meaningless drivel.

I can conclude only that in your Fox-dominated world, 3% growth is inept but causing a -9% recession is a display of economic brilliance.

@CostFundi. There is no definitive proof that life doesn’t start at conception. This coming from a PhD in microbilogy. So to call Ron Paul’s belief that it does “tyrannical” proves your ignorance and completely invalidates everything you’ve written.

@GLK

Life doesn’t start at conception, nor does the definition of a human being. Every cell in or out of our bodies is living and human. Is a fertilized egg absolutely equivalent to a human and entitled to all of the same personal freedoms, liberties, and protections of law? Is killing a fertilized egg murder? Do you claim that the answers to both questions are yes, and are known facts in the field of Microbiology?

I believe that legislating a microscopic cell as equivalent to a human being is absolutely unsupportable, and ridiculous. The only purpose for legislating such an equivalence is to mandate a dogmatic religious belief as fact and thereby force other Americans to follow that belief, by threat of punishment for murder. Yes, that is tyranny.

The definitive proof is not required of me. However, the opposite should have to be definitively proven if it is to be the basis for excising personal liberties and penalizing Americans for murder. That coming from a Biomedical Eng. PhD. I call.

BTW, I am very fond of Microbiology, especially Immunology. Was my ‘area of emphasis’ by electives in graduate school.
