Who can say this was unexpected?
Female voters in battleground states are rallying around President Obama in droves, according to a new USA Today/Gallup poll released Monday, suggesting a gender gap could pose one of the Republicans’ biggest challenges in this fall’s general election race.
Obama led Mitt Romney by 18 percentage points among female registered voters in the nation’s top 12 swing states. The gender gap between Obama and Rick Santorum was 15 points. USA Today reports that this is the “first significant lead” the president has held in these key voting states.
I think the only surprising thing about this is that it isn’t always like this.

He did well with women last time as well, I’m not overly surprised, especially given the gender gap with political ideology. Women are more likely to have liberal views than men are and BO is clearly a liberal.
