Women are “barely receptive” to Republican policies — GOP poll
Two powerful, male-led Republican “SuperPACs” commissioned a major poll on what women think of the party and its candidates, and were rewarded with dismal results.
Women view the Republican Party as “lacking in compassion,” and “stuck in the past” and “intolerant,” according to the report, “Republicans and Women Voters: Huge Challenges, Real Opportunities,” which was obtained by the Politico website.
The project was undertaken by Crossroads GPS, a secretive “educational” nonprofit — it doesn’t have to disclose donors –founded by Fox News pundit and Bush guru old Turd Blossom himself Karl Rove.
Crossroads GPS spent $5.5 million in 2010 trying to defeat Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash. It was joined by the American Action Network, which also ran ads attacking the Senate’s top-ranking woman.
The poll found that women are “barely receptive” to Republicans’ policies and that the GOP fares “especially poorly” with women in the Northeast and Midwest.”
President Obama was reelected in 2012 based on a double-digit lead among women voters. Despite the dip in Obama’s popularity, the Democrats have maintained a substantial lead among women, especially large among working women.
The Republicans vowed to change all that after Mitt Romney’s defeat.
They have put forward Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., a member of the House Republican leadership, as part of a “War for Women.” McMorris Rodgers gave the Republican response to President Obama’s State-of-the-Union speech last winter.
The GOP has also fielded promising women Senate candidates in West Virginia, Iowa, and Oregon. At present, 16 of the Senate’s 20 women are Democrats.
But the Republicans must deal with a grumpy male image, symbolized by the suits who surround McMorris Rodgers at news conferences.
In the news on Wednesday was a statement by Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, made behind closed doors to wealthy donors: “That’s all we do in the Senate is vote on things like raising the minimum wage.”
The report on women voters involved 800 voter interviews across the country as well as eight focus groups. It was delivered to “a small number of senior aides this month on Capitol Hill,” Politico reported.
It found that 49 percent of women view Republicans unfavorably, compared to 39 percent with a negative view of the Democrats. The only women with a positive view of the GOP are married women without a college degree.

The Repukes have demonstrated over and over, and over again (ad nauseum) that thinking is not something they do.
Ya have to possess a brain for that...and it is crystal clear, they don't.
And I just wonder why that would be?
I HATE the GOP = Greedy Old Pricks! 
I wish all my sisters would wake up.
The GOP is completely sexist, misogynist, racist, money-grubbing greedy pigs, warriors against all classes except the 1%, anti-Earth, homophobic, xenophobic, tax-dodging, thieving, lying grifters, war mongering, etc.
They have nothing at all to offer anyone other than people like the Koch suckers.
They seem to work mostly through patriarchal fear-mongering religions,with brain-washing lies in the media, etc., and back room bribes to crooked politicians.
Did I mention that I HATE the GOP?!? 
I honestly believe that any woman who votes GOP is a traitor to the female sex.
!!
Telling it like it is, that is. 
That is all that they are really about.
They will say anything, wear any mask, just to dupe more people into voting for their candidates and measures and causes.
Their only religion is more money and more power over other people, all of it for themselves. Bottomless pits of greed. It is not comprehensible to those of us who are both rational and compassionate.
to you, calimary. 
That's what it's all about.
They don't deserve one woman's vote.
May their need for power and control
explode in their faces like faulty statistics disintegrate.
Imagine that! 
for some time now. The pukes just do not understand the concept of demographics, do they? Let's not tell them about it. 
They got minds of their own!! Dayum!!
I earned a BA in a hard science over 35 years ago and a doctorate nearly 30 years ago. They just found out about educated women that can see through their bullshit???
Whooooooosh!
Where did they go? Who cares?
The sound of Mother Nature flushing the sewage down the drain.
