LA Times : NH Poll -among men over 45, Obama leads Clinton 24% to 22%
IN other news, Obama's poll numbers ,when not in a poll pushed by Mark Penn, Hillarys #1, show a definite trend. From Todays LA Times:

MUSCATINE, IOWA -- Barack Obama may be the darling of the college set, but the Medicare crowd is another story. While young Democratic voters have gravitated to his presidential campaign, seniors have stampeded to Hillary Rodham Clinton's.

That's why it was welcome news to his supporters when Max Allan Collins, a writer, rose at a recent campaign event here to announce that his 82-year-old mother wanted to vote for Obama.

"He's so sincere," said Pat Collins, a Republican who is turning toward the Democrats because she is disillusioned by President Bush and fearful that her grandson could be sent to Iraq. "He would bring the nation together," she said of Obama.


Collins' conversion is one sign that the Illinois senator, whose campaign's greatest appeal is among younger voters, is making urgently needed inroads into the over-60 set as he struggles to catch up to front-runner Clinton.

among men over 45, Obama leads Clinton 24% to 22%

In crucial early-voting states where Democrats have seen Obama most, he is making gains among older voters.

In New Hampshire, a recent Marist poll found that among men over 45, Obama leads Clinton 24% to 22% /snip/.

In Iowa, an October Hawkeye Poll of likely Democratic caucus-goers found Obama garnering support from 24% of those over 60, nearly double his August showing.

Honey, if you don't provide the link, we assume you're making it up.

2. Talk about cherrypicking
Can you check who's winning the single-women with less than 3 children with an income over $35,000 between 25 and 28 years old group?
