Unmarried women more Democratic.

Who knew?

Unmarried women are “by far the most Democratic base, except for African-Americans,” said Democratic pollster Stanley Greenberg, the chief executive officer of Greenberg Quinlan Rosner, which conducted the survey. “We ought to be looking at this” as a political opportunity, he added.
About 54 million women in America aren’t married, nearly half of all voting-age women, according to Greenberg. His survey, sponsored by the “Women’s Voices. Women Vote. Action Fund,” explored the reasons that 20 million single women elected not to vote in 2004.

One of the reasons they found that women were not voting was that unmarried women felt that politics are too complicated to understand. Now what kind of survey questions would ask such a thing? My unmarried head is hurting from all these complications.
