Wendy Davis, the Democratic nominee for governor of Texas, was supposed to be the candidate of women’s rights, what with her 11-hour filibuster of a bill that would ban abortions beyond 20 weeks (5 months).

But sadly for her, women may not even be responding to her message.

Davis trails her opponent, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, by a whopping 12 points among likely female voters, according to a new NYT/CBS/YouGov poll.

Forty-nine percent of women surveyed preferred Abbott, compared to 37 percent for Davis.

Of course, one should keep an open mind about this poll, considering the difference between the number of Democratic women and Republican women polled was — unsurprisingly — 12 points. This poll, conducted between Oct. 16 and Oct. 23, is also wildly different from past polls by the same groups, which showed a much closer divide among women.

The previous poll from this group, conducted between Sept. 20 and Oct. 1, found Davis leading among women — 46 percent to Abbott’s 41 percent. She still trailed Abbott overall by 13 points.

And the poll before that, conducted between Aug. 18 and Sept. 2, found Davis losing women voters by just 1 point.
