Is there a gender gap in Health Care Reform?
Earlier today, a subscriber asked if any of our recent polling shows a significant gender difference in the opposition to President Obama’s health care reform package. Early this month, polling in some key Illinois congressional districts show a small, but consistent difference. (Thanks to the New Prosperity Foundation for allowing me to release this information.)
