I did not see this among recent diary entries, but evidently Kerry is just mopping the floor with Bush in the last CBS/NYT poll. I think the polls will begin to tilt very soon.
Polls Show Gains for Kerry Among Women in Electorate
By KATHARINE Q. SEELYE
ASHINGTON, Oct. 19 - Senator John Kerry appears to have reversed his slide among women who are voters and has taken a lead over President Bush in this crucial category, new polls show.
In early September, Mr. Bush led Mr. Kerry among women, 48 percent to 43 percent in the CBS News poll. As of Sunday, in The New York Times/CBS News poll, Mr. Kerry was leading among women who are registered voters, 50 percent to 40 percent. Other polls show Mr. Kerry with a smaller lead among women, but a lead nonetheless.
The Times/CBS poll showed Mr. Kerry solidifying an already strong lead among single women. It showed him pulling ahead of Mr. Bush among women over 50, though not by much, after being behind.
One of the few categories of women in which Mr. Bush leads Mr. Kerry is among those who are married, who tend to vote Republican. But Mr. Kerry has shrunk the gap. As of Sept. 6, Mr. Bush had an edge of 27 percentage points over Mr. Kerry among married women; as of Sunday the gap had shrunk to 7 points.
