Picture of the Day - 4


















White women not broken out, but (FirstRead) "Obama has a seven-point edge (46-39) among all white women. How important is that lead? NBC/WSJ co-pollster Neil Newhouse (R) explains that Republican candidates always expect to win white men by a substantial margin, but it’s white women that usually decide the race. “If a Republican wins among white women, we usually win that election,” he says, noting that George Bush carried that group in 2000 and 2004."

  • It's interesting that McCain doesn't break 50% in ANY group.

    Still, I'm not sure what real information can be fond in the break-outs. I think the "Clinton primary voters" is a particularly useless data point, with "Suburban" following close behind. They 65 and older, but not 35 and younger.

  • That is interesting. I hadn't noticed that.

    In the link, he gets 55%-35% white men, but this year, that's going to be a smaller percenatge than usual.
