both both men and women are concerned. men believe we can t afford it and women believe it will adversely affect their family s health. when you get to the meta-question, do you think the president s policies have helped or hurt there is little difference between men and women, two-thirds of them think that the president s policies have, at best, not hurt and more likely have actually excuse me, not helped, but at their best have not-ed and at worst have hurt the economy. and there is not much difference there. so the question is whether the issues of reproductive rights and access to contraception will trump job, prosperity, debt spending and obamacare. greta: tomorrow, in your op-ed in the wall street journal, you say, in part, that both sides have pushed up their opponents negatives. where does that lead both of them. ? if you look at pollster.com, when barack obama began the tv
