...impact of Bush's social conservatism and performance on the economy was even more striking when pollsters explored the gender gap. Single parents, more dependent on public services than others, gave Clinton a margin of 20 points. His lead among women who work outside the home was 12 points. Those who identify themselves as "homemakers," and tend to be more traditional in their attitudes as well as older, stayed with Bush.

Bush tried to warn voters that Clinton's new direction would be too radical and costly. Clinton clearly won that argument by a significant margin. Asked to rank the importance of nine "candidate qualities," change drew the highest response (38%). Clinton won nearly two-thirds of that group, while Bush came in third...
