- Obama maintained his 48-42% lead from yesterday's release. The WH contest also remains largely status quo among men, while women (including white women) appear to be breaking more towards Obama.
- Among all men, Obama leads by 1% -- exactly his margin one week ago, in the survey completed 10/6. Among women, however, Obama's lead has grown from 3% to 12% over the same period.
- The same trends are evident among whites. McCain today leads white men by 11% -- exactly his margin one week ago. Among white women, however, the GOP nominee's advantage has fallen from 12% to 6%.
I think that, because the right to vote by minorities and women was curtailed for so long, white men should be barred from voting for the next 50 years. During that time, we would have approximately 12.5 democratic terms in the White House, and about 435 Democratic congressmen and, mostly, women. And women would make equal pay, and have guaranteed pregnancy leave, and there would be gay marriage, and the minority-white education gap would close, and the new flag would be a giant smiley face, and the national anthen would be "Always Be My Baby" by Mariah Carey.
Editor's Note: While writing this it didn't occur to me that I am, in fact, a white male. AT LEAST THATS WHAT SOCIETY IS TELLING ME. DOWN WITH THE MAN.
