CNN Poll - Crosstabs and Data

[harikaried]

2001, Why have women become left-wing? The political gender gap and the decline in marriage
http://www.hks.harvard.edu/fs/rpande/papers/qje_all.pdf

Jumping to the summary, the paper shows a general trend towards more unmarried women (from a number of causes: later first-marriages, single mothers, divorces).

So the next question is what's important to this group?

Most likely it's about economics.

We need videos etc targeting independents to change voter registration to GOP so they can vote for Ron in the primary 'or you may never have the chance in the general'.

No we don't. We need to target likely Republican voters.

Most of the data in this poll is ok for the general, but NOT where we need to be focusing on in the primary.

To achieve electoral victory, the ONLY people that matter are likely Republican voters for now.


It's easier to convince likely Republican voters to vote for Ron, than it is to convince independents and Democrats / liberals to cross over, change their registration, AND vote for Ron.

Notice this is a poll of registered voters, not likely voters.. I wonder if that helps or hurts Ron — my bet is that it hurts him.

Priority # 1:

we need to target the 40% to 55% of the voters who already like Ron Paul and convert them into votes.

# 2:

target the 25% to 35% undecided voters.

Division of labor. If someone is better at communicating with and reaching out to liberals, they should do just that.

In general, women seek security. Big govt is appealing because of the social safety net. Men are more into taking risks. Liberty, freedom, capitalism and building wealth require risk. Socialism seems safe. Everyone is taken care of by the nanny state. When women realize that real security comes from being self sufficient and not depending on govt, then they will like what they hear from Ron Paul. A connection has to be made that liberty = security and govt nanny state = dependence.

Corporation target women for sales because they have learned that women more often are the buyers. Women are also a bigger group than men. Understanding demographics and how to reach them are HUGE.

I know this. Every time I approach one when I'm out on the town they are always yelling for "security"














j/k of course ha ha ha

Very nice. By the way, nice to speak with you Mr. Coliins. I have enjoyed watching you post over the years.

We need to think about Ron Paul as a product to be sold. Identify the targey demos and craft a message for each group. A nice video geared toward women and their buttons is key.

Things are sold in two ways, by showing positive benefits and negative consequences.

Yep - the campaign will be doing that soon I'm fairly confident. Most of the people who will be behind Ron are experienced professionals who know how to win elections.

Honestly Ron and his staff haven't played up his credentials to women at all.

Show Ron with baby pictures, show Ron in his scrubs, have Ron talk about being married for 50+ years. He's a baby doctor for christ sake! He's performed surgery on women to save their life....rinse, repeat. This isn't rocket science. Watch this video of Ron and the women in it are eating it up.

This^^ Just like Rand's ad where he was playing with a baby, that was a homerun

We need to end women's suffrage. Ron Paul wins 48-47, if it is only men voting.
