Study: Single women tilt Democrat; many don't vote

[FreedomAngel82]

As a single woman you bet I'm going to vote democratic. I trust the democrats so much more than I ever would a republican politician.

Snip: < WASHINGTON - If unmarried women turned out in force for elections, they could shape the results. But they don't.

It's a tantalizing problem, especially for Democrats, whom unmarried women tend to favor. If the 20 million who didn't vote in 2004 had turned out, John Kerry would be in the White House, based on figures released Wednesday by a liberal get-out-the-vote group that specializes in women. If they'd even turned out at the same rate as married women, Kerry probably would've won.

Unmarried women are "by far the most Democratic base, except for African-Americans," said Democratic pollster Stanley Greenberg, the chief executive officer of Greenberg Quinlan Rosner, which conducted the survey.

About 54 million women in America aren't married, nearly half of all voting-age women, according to Greenberg. His survey, sponsored by the "Women's Voices. Women Vote. Action Fund," explored the reasons that 20 million single women elected not to vote in 2004. >

1. You hear a lot of

"I don't do politics" from single women.

"That's all right," I usually say in response. "Politics will do you."
