Gender Shift

Rasmussen:

As McCain has begun to chip away as Obama’s convention bounce, most of his gains have come among women voters. Obama still leads 51% to 44% among women, but that seven-point edge is just half the fourteen point lead he enjoyed last Tuesday. McCain leads by three among men, little changed in recent days.

Seventy-seven percent (77%) of Obama voters now say they are voting with enthusiasm for their candidate while 17% are primarily voting against the other candidate. For McCain, those numbers are 65% and 28% respectively. Before the Republican convention, just 54% of McCain voters were voting enthusiastically for him rather than simply voting against Obama.

Overall poll results (follow the link) show a tie game as well today which must mean that McCain’s speech was not nearly as well received as Palins was. Not exactly a surprise to us. We’re back where we started before the VP selections and the conventions.

Except that the GOP has closed the intensity and the women’s gap.
