longer the loneliest number. fox news correspondent shannon bream looks at the impact single women are having on the race for the white house. schaeffer says: "we have seen they are a critical voting bloc in the last several elections and i think we can expect that again in 2016." the number of unmarried women in the u-s is on the rise - and for the first time this fall - the majority of women eligible to vote will be single. it's a demographic group that was strongly in president obama's column back in 2012 - when they favored him over gop nominee mitt romney by 36 percentage points.
