Let's look at the latest national polling (excluding the daily trackers, which don't provide gender breakdowns), plus a couple of recent state polls:

Gender gap

NBC/WSJ (5/15-20) All Women Men

Obama 47 53 40 +24

Romney 43 38 49


dKos/SEIU (5/17-20) All Women Men

Obama 47 51 42 +19

Romney 46 41 51


WaPo (5/17-20) All Women Men

Obama 49 51 47 +9

Romney 45 44 49


IBD/CSM (5/17) All Women Men

Obama 43 45 41 +10

Romney 40 37 43


Fox (5/13-15) All Women Men

Obama 46 55 37 +27

Romney 39 33 46


PPP-PA (5/17-20) All Women Men

Obama 50 56 43 +25

Romney 42 36 48


SUSA-NC (5/18-21) All Women Men

Obama 44 50 38 +23

Romney 45 40 51

Compare it to two weeks ago, and it's clear that the gap hasn't gone anywhere. Obama maintains significant leads among women in pretty much every one of those polls.
What makes some gender gaps less pronounced is the percent of men Obama gets—the better he does among men, the smaller the gap.

That's not exactly good news for Team Red, which needs to run up big margins against men to have any chance of victory. Because they sure as heck ain't gonna pick up the ladies.
