Stunning Statistics: 52% Of Men Want A Republican Congress, 38% Of Women Do

"Women In Congress"

***

Mind the gender gap in politics. "On virtually all the hot-button issues that bedevil Washington today--guns, health, how to fix the economy, the state of the Obama presidency--the difference between men and women is striking. And it all adds up to a large difference in what men and women prefer in next year's congressional elections. Indeed, if anyone doubts the significance of gender differences, just consider this finding from the latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, completed last week: 52% of men say they want that election to produce a Congress under Republican control, while just 38% of women feel that way."Gerald F. Seib in The Wall Street Journal.
