Single Women Avoid GOP

DENVER (December 15, 2012)--The number of unmarried women, an important voting group, is growing rapidly, and for decades, single women have voted overwhelmingly for Democrats.

Women are postponing marriage as they increasingly graduate from college and join the workforce.

Census figures show that from 2000 to 2010, the number of unmarried women increased by 18 percent and single woman already account for one-quarter of the electorate.

Some Republicans warn that unmarried women are the greatest danger to the party's viability.
