Early Exit Polls Show Obama Gains with Whites.

This article talks about how close the race is with all the candidates. Hilary Rodham Clinton is strongly supported by Hispanics and people seeking an experienced candidate. Barack Obama is supported by blacks, young whites, and higher income voters. Obama is getting support from more than four in ten women and about the same number of whites, while Clinton only holds modest leads with women and whites. Obama is getting about eight in ten blacks, but Clinton has strong support from Hispanics, about six in ten. On the Republican side, John McCain, is getting support from moderates and people valuing experience and leadership, while Mitt Romney was dominating most conservative voters and people wanting a strong stance against illegal immigrants. McCain has about four in ten votes of people calling themselves Republicans, giving him a tiny margin over Romney. This is significant because McCain has yet to win that group of voters so far this year. I believe this article is worth reading because it shows just how close the candidates are at this point. One candidate will be really strong in one area, but the another candidate will have a strong lead in another area, making this a close race. This isn't going to be an easy win for anybody.
