Candidates seek opposite gender's votes by Delia Cruceru

Candidates for the presidential seat are looking towards to opposite gender for votes. The Democrat Hillary Clinton and the Republican Fred Thompson seek to enchant people to vote them. The former actor from "Law and Order" and former Tennessee senator, Fred Thompson according to a recent Associated Press-Ipsos polling 68 percent of his support is from male voters. The former first lady and New York senator, Hillary Clinton has 63 percent of her support from female voters, according to Associated Press-Ipsos survey she has more than twice the female backing of her nearest rival, Sen. Barack Obama. According to figures from recent national elections the majority of GOP voters are men, who tend to be more conservative than women, while just over half of Democratic voters are female. "She can certainly win the nomination based on her support with women. But at the end of the day for the general election, she needs to make sure she can get her fair share of votes among swing men as well," said Democratic pollster Geoff Garin about Hillary Clinton. According to the polls for June and July, Clinton has the support of 41 percent of women and the backing of 26 percent of men.
