There's yet more evidence of a growing gender gap.
MyDD reports:
According to the most recent Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll (.pdf), there is an astoundingly large 26-point gender gap on the generic congressional ballot question, with men narrowly favoring the Republicans by a two-point margin while women support the Democrats by a whopping 28-point margin.
And:
The Cook Political Report (.pdf) commissioned a poll this week from RT Strategies that showed the Democrats holding a 10-point generic congressional ballot lead, 46 percent to 36 percent. The gender breakdown of the Cook poll shows an 11-point gender gap, with women favoring the Democrats by 15 points while men favor the Dems by only 4.
Whether women support the Democrats by a 28 percent margin or a 15 percent margin, it seems fairly clear that women's strong preference for the Democratic Party -- which had shrunk from 12 points during the 2000 presidential election to just 3 points during the 2004 presidential contest -- has returned.
