You know what is odd about this poll? Look at the breakdown by age. The majority of voters polled that went for Mccain are in the 19-29 age group. I thought Obama had the younger vote wrapped up?
Not necessarily. My son goes to school in PA and told me he didn't draw a fraction of the crowd he had during primaries (there were thousands lined up in the rain). Not too many Nittally Lions came out for him this time around.
Maybe the college-age and young adults are aware of Obama's "Nittaly Lions" comment about Penn State and think he's an idiot.
