Time Poll: Women Dig Obama
All the caveats about polls should be assumed here but it is within line with the trend back to Obama.
Overall they have Obama leading McCain 50-43 but there's been a big shift in women voters.
Among the poll's most dramatic findings: McCain is losing female voters faster than Sarah Palin attracted them after the Republican convention. Obama leads McCain by 17 points with women, 55%-38%. Before the conventions, women preferred Obama by a margin of 10 points, 49%-39%. After McCain picked Palin as his running mate, the gap narrowed to a virtual tie, with Obama holding a one point margin, 48%-47%.
Apparently PUMA rage has spent itself.
I think we'll know if McCain is getting spooked if he does something extra-mavericky. I'm not sure what's left other than announcing that he's leaving the Republican party to become an independent but I'm sure he'll think of something if it comes to that.
