What started off as an attack on religion became a debate over contraceptives. Many Republicans like Santorum has played right into Obama’s hands. As a result of a perceived attack on Contraceptives, Obama now leads Romney among women nearly 2-1 in swing states. He leads Romney overall 51%-42%. This is a huge lead and its due to the contraceptive debate.

MILWAUKEE – President Obama has opened the first significant lead of the 2012 campaign in the nation’s dozen top battleground states, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll finds, boosted by a huge shift of women to his side.

In the fifth Swing States survey taken since last fall, Obama leads Republican front-runner Mitt Romney 51%-42% among registered voters just a month after the president had trailed him by two percentage points.

The biggest change came among women under 50. In mid-February, just under half of those voters supported Obama. Now more than six in 10 do while Romney’s support among them has dropped by 14 points, to 30%. The president leads him 2-1 in this group.

This is very troubling and shows how the Democrats play the Republicans like a fiddle.
