Poll: Romney Not Doing Well Enough Among Men
Poll: Romney Not Doing Well Enough Among Men
.cms
President Obama leads likely Republican nominee Mitt Romney in the latest IBD/TIPP poll, thanks to a gender gap. But Obama's large margin among women may be less important than his slim edge among men.
The poll shows Obama beating Romney, 46%-38%, with 10% undecided among eligible voters. Obama leads, 48%-35%, among women overall and a whopping 56%-25% among single women.
But Democrats have traditionally had an edge with the female vote. More striking is the fact that Obama narrowly leads Romney, 44%-42%, among men. Romney led this group, 47%-42%, in March, but Obama led, 45%-43%, in February, suggesting that Romney is vulnerable among male voters.
While the female side of the gender gap gets the most media attention, the male side is equally important. Men typical balanced out Republicans' losses among women voters. If Romney is going to win, he's going to have to reignite the GOP's bromance with male voters.
