According to USA Today, in a poll of “most likely voters,” McCain leads Obama by ten points.
Now, I’m not very concerned about the numbers or the poll itself - at least not for this thread. What it did make me remember is that it seems that this year, “getting out the vote” among particular demographic groups (the young, African-Americans) has been touted again and again as being significant towards a candidate’s (Obama’s) chances. It’s significant because if we went by the “traditional” voter demographic (“seen as most likely to vote,” as the article puts it), McCain may have a significant advantage.
So what do you think will happen in November? Will the faces of those at the polls be that different from those of years past? How will it impact the outcome either way?
