A Washington Post poll of likely voters finds that George Allen and Jim Webb are about tied among women voters which is no doubt the desired result of the Allen campaign’s assault on Webb over integrating the service academies and the Navy’s 1991 Tailhook convention. But the same poll also showed Allen and Webb about tied among male voters, i.e. Allen- 49 and Webb – 47. In 2000, when Allen beat Chuck Robb, another former Marine, Allen carried males voters by 15 points and lost among women by 6. Has Allen closed his gender gap with women but created a problem with men?
