A new Gallup poll out today shows the gender gap between supporters of President Obama and Mitt Romney virtually unchanged from four months ago.
Fifth percent of men surveyed picked Romney as opposed to 42 percent of women choosing the Republican, while Obama got the support of 50 percent of women and 42 percent of men.
The numbers are unchanged for Romney in comparison to the same tracking four months ago, while Obama gained one point among women.
Six percent of male Republicans and female Republicans support Obama, while eight percent of male Democrats and six percent of female Democrats support Romney.
The gender gap spans all age groups, but the youngest and oldest subsets had the widest gap: 63 percent of women aged 18-29 support Obama, while 59 percent of men 65 and older back Romney.
College graduate women are evenly split between Obama and Romney, but the gap shoots up 30 points in favor of Obama when weighing the preference of women with post-graduate education.

Julia.
The women with post-graduate education are the ones most invested in the have-it-all fiction of Big Career, Abortion When You Need It, Babies When You Finally Want ‘Em, and government-funded fertility treatments when it turns out that the delay and the hedonism makes babies when you finally want ‘em a little more difficult than they thought.
Poor saps. They’re still living the 1972 dream, wholly ignoring the bleached carcasses of that dream’s casualties.
How many of those women are unionized teachers with bogus advanced degrees in education? My current governor wrote her doctorate thesis on the WTF topic of how local colleges could better serve senior citizens. I’d be happy those colleges could turn out undergrads with basic math and English language skills who showed up on time minus the attitude of entitlement.
Coulter said it best:
“It’s not the women’s vote generically, it is the single women’s vote. And that is because single women look to the government to be their husbands and give them, you know, prenatal care, and preschool care, and kindergarten care, and school lunches. These are not programs designed to appeal to Bruce Willis.”
Cannot understand women who support Obama…Ryan is worth a second look. Smart. Positive. Supports equal opportunity for all.

About 30% of graduate degrees are in Education. The vast majority of graduate students in Education are women. Teachers vote Democrat.That explains the disparity.
Sure would have been nice if conservatives had ever mounted any resistance to politicized Feminism.
But no, they sat around and smiled while several generations of females were turned into zombies.
Here’s the poll I want to see: The preferred candidate of Americans whose annual income tax liability exceeds the value of government benefits they receive. In other words, what is the candidate choice of assets when disregarding the candidate choice of liabilities?
And to those 63% of 18-29 year old women, it’s time for you to grow up. We taxpayers are not your mommy and daddy.
One of the flimsiest post-graduate degrees available is the Master in the Arts in Teaching (MAT) degree, sought after because it guarantees unionized teachers automatic advancement in pay and other perks. My bet is that they are distributed like Christmas candy by the Colleges of Education, the colleges that attract those who, on average, have the lowest SAT scores on campus, and by various private degree mills. These colleges, degree mills and MAT holders are an integral part of the Democrat Educational Complex that is sucking the taxpayer dry while leaving their children, on average, undereducated.
Why would anyone be surprised by this? If their young skulls were not full of mush by the time they got to college, they were force fed enough gobbledy-gook to finish the job by the time they graduated.
All this quite often on daddy’s dime.
