Women Abandon Obama

Politico reports women are losing faith in President Obama. They were formerly a group that strongly supported him. Author Manu Raju writes:
With two weeks until Election Day, the president’s diminished standing with women is quickly becoming one of the biggest liabilities facing Democrats as they struggle to hang onto the Senate majority. In battleground states across the country, Obama is underwater with female voters — especially women unaffiliated with a political party — and it’s making it harder for Democrats to take advantage of the gender gap, according to public polling and Democratic strategists.
The article talks about the "problem with declining support from women" in the various states in which a Senate seat is at stake. What it doesn't do is say why women are less supportive.

COTTonLINE guesses women feel the Prez isn't doing a good job keeping them, and their kids, safe from Ebola. Of course they are correct in this feeling, worse luck for all of us.
