Sexism not the key to Hillary Clinton's defeat, a poll of women finds

LA Times

A group of Hillary Clinton supporters wants the Democratic national platform to include a line decrying "pervasive gender bias in the media," but a new poll of attitudes among women about the '08 campaign does not lend much support to the push.

The survey, a joint endeavor by well-known Republican pollster Kellyanne Conway and Democratic counterpart Celinda Lake, found that "despite all the talk about sexism in the presidential campaign, the majority of women voters laid the blame for Hillary's loss squarely on her and her strategists' shoulders; they largely reject gender as a cause of her demise."

The precise numbers: 34% said she lost "because of the kind of campaign she ran"; 31% said because of "who she is and what she stands for"; 21% said "because she is a woman."..........
