  Soccer mom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In general, the term "soccer mom" refers to the concept of American post-feminist motherhood as an amalgam of traditional values with modern feminism (1960s-1980s), though with modern conveniences such as the SUV and cell phone.
A soccer mom is typically imagined as upper middle class, probably college-educated, most often suburban or exurban, and typically white.
In fact, in as much as both parties seek to appeal to her, the model soccer mom in political discourse is a moderate, hopefully persuadable swing voter.

 Soccer Mom Nonsense - The making of this year's election myth. By Jacob Weisberg
In the view of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, soccer mom is a career woman who has "temporarily taken up child rearing." According to the Buffalo News, however, she is "balancing the demands of work and family." The consensus seems to be that soccer moms are some subset of middle-class, white suburban women.
the phrase "soccer moms" has rapidly become part of the political lexicon, it may be because it is cleverly positioned at the intersection of several different trends--the rise of soccer as a middle-class pastime, the demanding lives of working women, the diversification of the suburbs, the popularity of the Dodge Caravan, and so on.
Soccer moms, whoever and however many they are, are less flighty--and thus less crucial to the election--than their husbands.
