Recent polls by Ipsos Reid for CanWest News Service show that support for the Conservatives among women trails support among men by a significant margin.
In four polls through Nov. 26, support for the party among men averaged 42 per cent, compared with 33 per cent among women. In the most recent Ipsos poll, released Dec. 22, the gap spiked to 15 percentage points. Forty-three per cent of men said they would vote for the Conservatives, compared with only 28 per cent of women.
Just over 11 per cent of Conservative MPs (14 of 125) are women, compared with nearly 22 per cent of Liberal members (21 of 96). The NDP Caucus is comprised of 41% women.
