Virginia Demographic Shifts Favor Obama
The Virginian-Pilot pinpoints the reason many political analysts expect Virginia to be competitive in this year's presidential election."The pool of 18- to 25-year-olds signing up to vote in this year's presidential election is growing at twice the rate of all Virginia voters... Of those who registered to vote in Virginia during the first six months of 2008, nearly half were under the age of 25, and the majority of them were teens who had just reached voting age - 18-year-olds, along with 17-year-olds who will turn 18 before Election Day. The majority also were women."
Though Virginia typically votes for Republicans in presidential election, nearly every poll shows that this demographic group overwhelmingly favors Sen. Barack Obama.

PPP Poll: Obama Still Leads in Ohio
A new Public Policy Polling survey in Ohio shows Sen. Barack Obama ahead of Sen. John McCain by eight points, 48% to 40%."His 91-6 lead among black voters in the state is not a big surprise, but he is also keeping it surprisingly competitive among white voters with whom he trails John McCain only 46-42. Whether he is able to keep the white vote this close will determine if he pulls off the victory in Ohio this fall or not."
