>>White women have moved from 50-42 percent in Obama's favor before 
>>the conventions to 53-41 percent for McCain now, a 20-point shift

"Holland also pointed out that despite a concerted outreach by the 
McCain-Palin team to former women supporters of Hillary Clinton's 
presidential bid, women nationwide seem to be sticking with Obama -- 
52 percent of women are planning to vote Democratic, while 45 percent 
are backing McCain. The poll indicates that 51 percent of men are in 
the GOP column, with 44 percent supporting Obama."
