GOP Losing Grip on Married Moms
From cnn.com…
An Associated Press-Ipsos poll this month found that support is now evenly divided between Democrats and Republicans among married women with children in the house. Republicans won this voting group by 18 percentage points in 2002 and Bush won it by 14 percentage points in 2004.
During Election 2004, we stressed constantly that both married and unmarried women would swing Republican. It seems many Dems even wrote off married women in 2004 in favor of trying to pursuade unmarried women- see Jennifer Kritz from the Kennedy School of Government’s great study on unmarried women and the ballot box. (Now, what does that say about the Democratic self-identity?). I’m glad to see married women are firmly back in the Democrats’ sight.
