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 Oct. 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 Oct. 21-22. But this week's survey indicates that they now break evenly with 45 percent supporting Obama and 46 percent 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-age 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.

I will.
God Bless.
I don’t know if the young are really gravitating to McCain. I hope so, but my college age kids say that everyone on their campus is drinking the Obama Kool-aid. I say, Pray like you’ve never prayed before
NYT's should be ashamed they can't find a way to print a positive article about McCain, but they won't.
LLS
I was talking to my grandson,(not old enough to vote yet), that we are VOTING FOR HIM and the younger generation. It does not matter what happens to us, as we are on the tail end of life. IT DOES MATTER to us what his future holds, and we don't want them under SOCIALIST RULE,
I have always voted for and with the future generations in mind, always.
McCain should be making a bigger issue of this than he seems to be doing. The Democrats are openly talking about confiscating 401K accounts and younger people should be enraged and very worried. Then again, maybe older voters on Social Security want the government to conficate the young whipper-snapper's 401K accounts to bolster their sacred Social Security. That would explain why The One is suddenly more popular with the elderly, if it is true.
I see you’re getting hip to the new technology too. ;)
I posted my first link on Digg today...

We don’t know. With regards to his vital information he wishes to retain his privacy (while running for the most public office on earth).
Why is did you put Digg keyword in your post, but no link to Digg in either your post or your thread? Or did someone else do it???
I’m seeing this too. Kids I would have thought wouldn’t even vote and if voted would be for BHO...are voting for McCain.
I added you as a friend.
:-)
Dugg.
The other one does have a very smart, and nice boyfriend........
So I guess they are unavailable at the moment.
Ha!!
Great news!
I don’t believe this at all. I have been a Rep representative at an early polling location in NoVA handing out sample ballots. I have been doing this for two days for a total of nine hours. The elderly are overwhelmingly for McCain.
