“The Obama campaign has a woman problem. How big? How small? It’s not clear, but in a close election, small can be big.”
That’s Chicago Sun-Times columnist Carol Marin as reported at Daily Kos.
Except Ms. Marin is wrong. As kos reports, “Kerry won the female vote 51-48. … Obama leads that demographic by 22.”
So, umm, Ms. Marin, wouldn’t it have been more factually correct to say that the McCain campaign has a woman problem, being down 56 to 34 among women in a poll taken three days ago.
Elsewhere it’s been reported that Obama has a Latino problem, too. Except that he’s up 66-33 among Latinos according to Pew.
I’d say it’s the media that has a problem. But you knew that.
