Republican War on Women! Right! Check!AP/GfK poll:
"Women have moved in the GOP's direction since September. In last month's AP-GfK poll, 47 percent of female likely voters said they favored a Democratic-controlled Congress while 40 percent wanted the Republicans to capture control. In the new poll, the two parties are about even among women, 44 percent prefer the Republicans, 42 percent the Democrats."

Tina Brown: Obama makes women feel ‘unsafe’
Appearing on MSNBC on Monday, former Daily Beast publisher, journalist, and memoirist, Tina Brown, speculated that the president is no longer drawing the support of as many women as he has in the past because he makes them feel “unsafe” and his sense of self-importance is not matched by a record of achievement. Imagine that.
“I think [women are] feeling unsafe,” Brown said on MSNBC’s Morning Joe on Monday. “They feel unsafe economically. They’re feeling unsafe with regard to ISIS. What they feel unsafe about is the government response to different crises.”
Brown said Obama’s smugness and willingness to place blame has also contributed to his declining support.
“I think they’re beginning to feel a bit that Obama’s like that guy in the corner office, you know, who’s too cool for school, calls a meeting, says this has to change, doesn’t put anything in place to make sure it does change, then it goes wrong and he’s blaming everybody,” she said.
Considering how Democratic figures’ efforts to refight the War on Women has spectacularly backfired on them this cycle, it is particularly delicious that an erstwhile ally like Brown is criticizing Democrats and the president for not providing women with substantive assurances about their ability to competently govern.
