And if it's already been made, can someone post it again?

I feel like this would be very interesting as Akin still won white men by 15 points.  It was a white women generated landslide loss.

I think it would show the effects on Republican counties if Democrats were to make inroads with white women (which Romney won 56-43).

Thanks.

If the white women and white men of Missouri were segregated from each other to such a degree that a gender gap in voting showed up on a county map, it would be no wonder the state had weird pregnancy politics.

I was curious if the shifts were all uniform or if there was more concetration in suburban parts of the state or rural.  It appears a mostly uniform swing, but in some rural areas (northern MO) it was actually greater.  Law of diminishing returns probably, but still...

There's a similar gender gap between white men and white women in the New York and New England states:

New York

Connecticut

and Massachusetts


But it didn't show up anywhere else in the nation... until outlandlishly pro-life Todd Akin managed to pull it off in Missouri.

Republicans have a minorities problem, but there's clearly room to grow among white women on the Democratic side.
