Now this is interesting, given the "narrative" that the media is currently trying to assign to Santorum.

In a week when much of the national media attention on former Sen. Rick Santorum’s presidential campaign focused on his views on contraception, the Gallup tracking poll showed Santorum’s support among women increasing by 12 points, vaulting him into a 10-point lead among women over former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. In fact, Santorum’s support among women in this latest Gallup poll is stronger than his support among men...

Santorum led Romney 34 percent to 29 percent among men and 36 percent to 26 percent among women.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich was third among men at 15 percent and Rep. Ron Paul was fourth with 12 percent.


Among women, Gingrich was third with 12 percent and Paul was fourth with 9 percent.


In Gallup's previous week of polling--Feb. 6-12--Romney had led Santorum among men by 32 percent to 28 percent, and among women by 36 percent to 24 percent....

Since there really is not that much difference in the positions on "women's issues" between the candidates, the only way this would mean much in erms of the contraceptive debate is comparing to Obama.
 
what do you think is behind the swing then? why women by this much when the story is supposed to be how much Santorum Scares Women?

With due respect... why any woman, any man, let alone beast... vote for a candidate that mentions the word Satan every other word he utters?

The mind boggles at the thought .... :roll:

I have no clue. I simply pointed out that comparing his standing among women when on "women's issues" there is little difference is pretty meaningless. The useful comparison would be with Obama.

I find Gallup to be a reiable suorce for polling, but I checked their data by subchart and I find it interesting that they identified what region of the U.S. that respondents lived but not if they were suburban /urban or rural.
 
Americans are not going to vote for religious fundamentalists fanatics.

Let that for the Iranian Regime.
 
Santorum has no chance of winning and the polls are crap.

I forgot to mention, in addition to not identifying what type of areas the respondents live in, the poll only identified income range by annual HOUSEHOLD income. They had two categories : over 90,000 and under 90,000. According to the Census Bureau real median household income was $49,445 in 2010, a 2.3 percent decline from 2009, in that case I think the under 90,000 is not the correct number to work with, as that could mean anything between 0-90,000. If the number is close to 90,000 then the poll is very skewed.

As I mentioned before I usually trust Gallup as being unbiased.

we're still in primary season - and I think this is indicative that the "OMG like,when he says he opposes abortion he has the temerity to, like, you know, like actually mean it" factor isn't going to play as heavily against him as folks seem to be assuming.


this poll is directly contradictory to the general narrative over the last few days. the movement is in the opposite direction of where it is "supposed" to be going, and it is doing so in a significant way.

And the general narrative hasn't been that his views on contraception, abortion etc will hurt him with conservatives.

the only thing I can think is that they are breaking it that way due to Romney typically carrying the affluent.

ah.... so you simply lack the ability to logically place events in them?

I ask because you said for "someone to stop Santorum from talking about Satan", as though he were running around on the campaign trail making the Devil part of his stump speech... when your "evidence" for his current (something has to be occurring for it to be "stopped" , after all) discussion was dated by 4 years.

Satan?

Ah. so no, you're don't actually have any kind of point. what a shocker.

are you an evil clown trying to make liberals look bad? if so, you picked a bad thread and are thus doing a poor job - whatever else their faults (and we are all only human), both redress and your star could run circles around the character you've presented without even warming up or exerting themselves.

yes. but i'm not exactly sure how precisely that detracts from the point. are you arguing that this is a swing solely among pro-life women?
