USA-valet: Intressant om hur Obama vann North Carolina

May 6th, 2008

CNN har en mycket intressant analys av hur Obama vann North Carolina så övertygande. Det är oerhört svårt att se hur Hillary Clinton skulle kunna få de s.k. superdelegaterna att utnämna henne till demokraternas presidentkandidat när man ser hur Obama har lyckats locka miljoner nya väljare till det demokratiska partiet:

Schneider: A few keys to Obama’s N.C. win

How did Obama do it? His overwhelming support among black voters in North Carolina certainly gave him a major edge – although only one in three primary voters Tuesday night fell into that demographic.

But Obama won every age group except voters 60 and older – by more than 35 points among those younger than 45. And Clinton’s edge with seniors – she won voters 60 and older 54 to 43 percent – wasn’t high enough to compensate.

And remember that voter registration? Obama won those first-time voters, 62 to 28 percent. The results among first-time primary voters – a group that includes Independents and Republicans weighing in for the first time in a Democratic contest – show the party’s fears of GOP mischief seem to have been off the mark: that group supported Obama by an even greater margin, 68 to 26 percent.
