MCCAIN SURGES AMONG YOUNG VOTERS

A massive shift in younger and older voters is roiling the presidential race according to new data from the Fox News/Opinion Dynamics Poll concluded October 28-29. Younger voters -- under 45 -- once Obama's base, now are evenly divided between the two candidates. But voters over 65 have shifted sharply to the Democrat in the past week.

Voters under 45 supported Obama by 52-38 in the Fox News poll of October 21-22. But this week's survey indicates that they now break evenly with 45% supporting Obama and 46% backing McCain. On the other hand, voters 65 and over, who had backed Obama by 46-42 last week have now shifted decisively in his favor and he now leads McCain among seniors by 54-39. Middle aged voters -- aged 45-64 -- are largely unchanged in their views. Last week they backed Obama by 48-40 and this week they still support him by 48-43.

Overall, the Fox News survey shows McCain narrowing Obama's lead from 49-40 (9 points) to 47-44 (3 points) over the past week.

Tell your dad about the nationalized health care system which will come under an Obama administration. Then show him this article to impress upon him what happens when you go to a national health care system like the UK has.

If he still wants to vote for Obama, well that would be a sign of dementia, now wouldn't it? ;)

IMHO McCain’s not surging with young voters.

Basic genetics, rules that out. Seriously. Ain’t gonna happen.

GOVERNOR SARAH PALIN, is surging with young voters!

Senator McCain, your winning hand, is your Vice President.

Play all your cards. Now!

Please. For America.
