I imagine that’s what “college educated white men with no social conservatism” means. Bush’s support there has dropped fourteen points since 2000. Damn.
The countervailing trend - non-college white women - going for Bush is interesting, too; guess the culture war’s working there. It’s not as much of a shift, though; 3 points.
Summary:
The diminished gender gap has been produced partly by Kerry’s stronger performance among men, but dramatically by Rove’s driving college educated white men out of the Republican base. Cultural politics has a price, felt directly in the diminished gender gap.
Reap what you sow, Rove, you son of a bitch.
