An Update on the Women's Vote

From MarketWatch:

In a Dramatic Reversal Since Late July, McCain/Palin Now Virtually Tied With Obama/Biden on Who Best Understands Women

-- Governor Sarah Palin Pick: Solidifying Factor for Republican Women, Compelling to 55-64 Year-Olds and Married Moms, but Others Divided

-- Nearly Three-Quarters of Clinton Supporters Have Gone Home to Obama, but Still 23% Said They'll Vote for McCain

-- Majority of Women Believe Senator Clinton and Governor Palin Have Been Treated Fairly in the Media Coverage of the Race, but Two-Fifths Say Sexism Persists and Is Worse for Palin --

According to the survey, neither Barack Obama/Joe Biden nor John McCain/Sarah Palin has secured a clear majority of women, the voting bloc that has decided every presidential election since 1968, and is poised to pick the next Oval Office holder. Obama/Biden garnered 47% to McCain/Palin's 45%. With less than two months to go until Election Day, 7% of women are firmly undecided.
