What we found was that while 56% of men reported having a favorable opinion of Rush, only 37% of women did.
Apparently that really caught the attention of the man himself, and after calling us 'a bunch of liberals' he announced on the show yesterday that he's going to have a 'Female Listener Summit' to discuss his gender gap. You can read the transcript of his reaction to the poll here.
Here's the gist of his 'summit'
So, you ladies be on standby. Be ready at any moment for me to declare the summit officially underway, and we will take calls only from women who want to seriously discuss the proposition of this giant gender gap that I have, and what I could do to close it. In other words: What could I do to attract a higher favorability rating among more women in America? I own the men, and what must I do now to own women?Almost immediately after Rush discussed this yesterday I got an e-mail from a Robert Wiseman informing me:
SO MUCH FOR POLLING--COUNT ME (WOMAN) IN FOR A APPROVAL VOTE FOR "LIMBAUGH". HE IS THE ONLY PLACE ONE CAN GET THE REAL FACTS ANY MORE ABOUT ANYTHING.
So there you go Rush. You are loved by women named 'Robert.'
You can read the many interesting comments Rush's listeners have sent our way here.
Never a boring day...

Maybe so many women dislike him because among his "35 Undeniable Truths" are the gems:
#16, Women should not be allowed on juries where the accused is a stud.
#33, Feminism was established as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society.
Call me overly sensitive, but that doesn't make me, a woman and a feminist, want to like this guy.

Check out #18 as well.
Here's another reason, straight from the transcript: "What do women want? Not even Freud was ultimately able to answer the question. Women generally, for the most part, can't answer it, either." Not to take this too seriously, but he has chosen his audience, and obviously it is not women.
Tom, congratulations for getting under his skin.
Well, on the "Woman named Robert" thre are plenty of couples where the husband or wife has the email account and they both use it. I know a lady from dance class, she uses her husband's account. I've seen it the other way too. Sometimes it depends on who of the couple is logged in on their machine. The joint account is cool I guess.
But that might have been the case, a married lady ho digs Rush. (He has a lot of houswives who listen, including ones who listen while their husbands don't. He gets a lot of calls from married women.)
