FWIW, in an Obama-Santorum contest in Maine, the poll finds Obama would win men, 52-42... and win women, 64-29.
The Obama-Romney numbers are very similar by gender; Paul actually wins men 47-45, but loses women by about the same margins as Santorum and Romney.
Gingrich of course does even worse. Men prefer Obama to Gingrich, 53-38; women, 66-25.

That's surprising for Maine. I'd expect that state to be 54-45.

If this year turns out to be like 2004, that's about where it would be. And this year might be like 2004 in the end, but there's a fair amount of evidence that right now it's more like 2008, or even a little better for the Democrats
