It doesn't surprise me that fewer women are identifying as Republicans given the behavior of the GOP toward women's issues and females in general. But what do you think - are republican female voters going extinct? That is my question after reading this survey from Gallup:

Women More Likely to Be Democrats, Regardless of Age

Women from 18 to 85 are more Democratic than men of the same age

by Frank Newport

PRINCETON, NJ -- A new Gallup analysis of almost 150,000 interviews conducted from January through May of this year sheds new light on the substantial gender gap that exists in American politics today. Not only are women significantly more likely than men to identify as Democrats, and less likely to identify as independents, but -- with only slight variation -- this gap is evident across all ages, from 18 to 85, and within all major racial, ethnic, and marital-status segments of society.
