    A new Associated Press/GfK Poll shows a 47-47 deadlock between the president and Gov. Romney, among women voters.

    As an article on the poll puts it:

    On the other hand, President Obama is making some gains among men:

    Dude.. you conservatives get WAY to hyped over ONE POLL. Look its an outlier. These happens when collecting statistics. Obama was up in a poll in Florida by 8 points. I dont see you posting that.

    Obama owns a 55-45 or 60-40 edge on women, has the entire race and will on election day. You cant talk about 'legitimate rape' and expect women to vote for you

    Women's votes only count for 73% of what a man's vote counts for anyways.

    Well, just two weeks ago, I did post a thread about a poll that shows an eight-point swing in Florida: Gov. Romney has gone from one point down to seven points up in this poll: http://www.politicalforum.com/elect...r-romney-florida-virginia.html#post1061819623

    Note: The pertinent part is found in the second post (i.e. the next post after the OP).

    Well, you can continue to hope for that, I suppose...

    Let us not confuse what Rep. Todd Akin said in the Missouri race for the Senate, a couple of months ago, with what Gov. Romney has stated.
