50% of those self-employed preferred Gore, whereas 32% of the public sector employees preferred the Gore Camp. Non-profit workers appeared to have their preference decided, citing no undecided votes. Mr. Gore gets 51.4% of the female vote and 41.2% of the male vote. Nader and the reform party also seems more popular with the female population.
