Women don't really like Rush Limbaugh. On Feb. 23, Public Policy Polling released findings showing that only 37 percent of women hold a favorable opinion of the hate radio host, compared to 56 percent of men.

As Jill Zimon notes, Limbaugh brought up this poll yesterday on his radio show, noting that it was one of the largest gender gaps Public Policy Polling has seen on any issue it has polled in the past year. His solution? To convene a summit of women to find out why they dislike him:

I love all of these responses...like women's "bs meter", we're smarter, etc

What did it for me years ago was learning what a hypocrite he was: such a lack of compassion and here he was...deaf from overuse of drugs, oxycodone?

his negativity is not constructive or helpful at all

he was such a sycophant to the failed bush agenda

He should hold a summit to find out why EVERYBODY hates him! According to this Gallup poll, Limbaugh has only a 28% favorable rating, compared to a 45% unfavorable rating:

I wonder if Rash will have a large sign to welcome the "FemiNazis".

Because women are not only smart but generally more compassionate than men and can't stand self centered trickle down politics.

Rush, we're just not that into you...

rush it is not just women it is everyone who does listen to your insanity

Isn't there a difference between "can't stand" and "hate?" I'm a male, but I would guess women feel as they do about Rush because they are generally smarter than he is. They have BS meters. Guys, not so much.

Millions of dollars, a total disrespect for women,a morbidly obese body, no thanks. You have plenty of money to buy yourself a girlfriend. But wouldn't that go against your'e high morals. I'm sure that hasn't stopped you in the past as well as your drug addiction.

JGarofalo was on KO tonight - she thinks he just wants to find a girlfriend! I think she's right. She was hilarious saying a Limbutt type woman is the type who would marry someone in prison (a lifer, I think). He's so repulsive, all his money can't even buy love (like Trump, for instance).

Political flatulence makes for a bad date.

I can't help being mildly amused by this editorial. Everyone wants to be loved or liked by the opposite gender. RL's macho ego is bruised and he wants a summit on why women hates him??? Ha ha! GOLD!

Hes the king of the losers. It's not a hard job to do though, if you don't have a soul.

I almost went the same route, but said screw it and just pursued a bio-degree.

So why does he suddenly give a crap about this? Sounds like he is testing the waters to run for something...oh, I hope so....I can just imagine the fun we could have coming up with ads to run against him!

It's for the same reasons men hate him.
