You can't crap on people and then expect them to vote for you.
Female voters appear to be swinging back to Democrats. A number of polls show Obama’s approval among women has risen significantly since December, even as it has remained flat among men.
The same trend is also showing up farther down the ballot. When the Wall Street Journal/NBC News survey asked last summer which party should control Congress, a slim 46-to-42 percent plurality of women said it should be the Democrats.
In a survey released Monday, compiling polling since the beginning of the year, the gap had widened to 15 points. According to polling by the team of Democratic pollster Peter Hart and Republican Bill McInturff, 51 percent favored Democratic control; 36 percent wanted to see Republicans in charge.
According to the latest national Fox News Latino survey, none of the Republican contenders for the presidential nomination poll above 14 percent in a head-to-head matchup against Obama. That's a 17 point drop in support from John McCain's 2008 share of the Hispanic vote — with McCain garnering 31 percent of that group four years ago.
Obama has a six-to-one advantage among Hispanics, leading Mitt Romney 70 percent to 14 percent among likely Latino voters. Obama also beats Newt Gingrich 72 to 14 percent. And Obama is also drawing a significant well of his Hispanic support from former John McCain voters. According to the poll, 40 percent of John McCain voters are now supporting Obama over Gingrich or Romney, while 38 percent are supporting Obama over Rick Santorum.
Obama's approval rating among Hispanics stands at 73 percent — with 66 percent approving of his handling of the economy.
