News Articles - Single Women Boosted McCaskill at Polls
November 14, 2006
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A survey says Democrat Claire McCaskill got a big boost from single women who voted in the U.S. Senate race last week. The survey found that 61 percent of the 400,000 single women who voted in the race picked McCaskill over Republican incumbent Jim Talent.
That accounts for a 100,000-vote edge for McCaskill in a race that she won by fewer than 50,000 votes. About 19 percent of those who voted in Missouri last week were single women.
Forty-five percent of married women and 41 percent of married men voted for McCaskill. The poll also found 57 percent of unmarried men voted for McCaskill.
The survey was done by the voter-education project Women's Voices, Women Vote in 12 states. The Missouri numbers are based on exit polls conducted of 2,400 voters.
