Polls | Gender Gap Replaced by Marital Gap

New ABC News Poll finds that this year the electorate is divided more along marital lines than gender lines:

Men support George W. Bush over John Kerry by an eight-point margin in the latest ABC News tracking poll, while women are split between the candidates. In 2000 there was a bigger difference between the sexes: Bush +11 among men, Al Gore +11 among women.

[. . .]

Married voters — men and women — are strong Bush groups: Married women support him by 19 points, 56-37 percent, and married men by 22 points, 59-37 percent. Kerry, though, is favored by six in 10 single men and women alike.

John Kerry goose hunter or goose killer. How long did the media wait for Kerry to “hunt”? Waiting for the Geese to arrive in the cold can take hours. Or was the goose a pre-captured and let go to be killed. Or was he allowed in a feeding area that is restricted.

Married people are serious about the future and have learned to think outside the box that contains only themselves.

I’m single and PRO Bush…therefore, my vote cancels out two other of the stOOpid singles!! Now, you married people hold up your end of this deal..

If I was married, I certainly wouldnt let my wife cancel MY vote….call me sexist, but she would have to have at least the same political sentiments; along with a hot body!!
