Well, that is where I got this according to my notes, but will have to struggle awhile to get to the right page again. Anyway, my notes say:

--v--Margin by which white females voted for Romney over Obama
[font color = red]
+13% white females overall

+24% married white females
+ 5% unmarried white females[/font] [font color = blue]

-18% never married white females
-39% living with partner white females
-35% heterosexual and living with partner white females[/font]

Indentation is used to indicate subcategories. Red indicates categories that voted more for Romney than Obama. Blue is for the opposite -- voted for Obama more than Romney.

Anyway, unmarried white females (as a group) favored Romney too, by a margin of 5%, at least in this exit poll. Its those 3 blue subcategories of unmarried that broke in the Obama direction.
