Exit Polls 2008 and Young Voter Turnout Favor an Obama Win
The latest exit polls for the November 2008 presidential elections in the USA conducted by various agencies such as Survey USA, Rasmussen Reports, CNN, ARG, Strategic Vision, Research 2000, etc have all placed Obama as leading McCain by fair margins. In states such as New York and Illinois Obama has a runaway lead over the GOP presidential candidate.
Another factor favoring Obama is that the young voter turnout in the 2008 elections is highly pro-Democratic party. The Dems have increased their young voter base in almost all states by a staggering amount. Compared to 2004 when there were 1,110,806 voters for the Dems in the age-group of 18-29, the figures for 2008 are projected to be 4,963,587. This is a 500% increase in voter base.
Comparable 2004 and 2008 figures for the Republicans are 1,236,293 for 2004 and 1,769,213.
