Women’s Voting Expert Sees Last-Minute ‘Dramatic Shift’ Toward Democrats
Women are beginning to “make up their minds” about the candidates they will cast their ballots for on Election Day, and that may be a good thing for Democrats, an expert on women’s voting trends said on Friday.

Page Gardner, founder of the group, “Women's Voices. Women Vote,” told ABC’s Rick Klein and Amy Walter on today’s edition of “Top Line” that recent tracking polls indicate unmarried women “now are performing at about the same levels that they were in 2008, in terms of coming back to progressive Democrats.”

Gardner’s nonpartisan organization is dedicated to engaging unmarried women in the political process.

She said that this demographic group, in particular, has felt the pain of the country’s economic downturn, which has led to diminished support for Democratic candidates. But Gardner said she is seeing a “dramatic shift in the past few days” among unmarried women voters.

2. I think it has a lot to with the extreme mean girls club running around
with empty brains making all women look bad.
