Obama competitive against McCain with key voters

From the article:

"Barack Obama has done poorly in the Democratic primaries with women, Catholics and others who will be pivotal in this fall's presidential election. Yet early polling shows that with several of these groups, he's competitive when matched against Republican John McCain."

Very, very interesting....

From the article:

"Polls this month show the Illinois senator leading McCain among women, running even with him among Catholics and suburbanites and trailing him with people over age 65. Results vary by poll for those without college degrees. And though Obama trails decisively with a group that has shunned him against Clinton — whites who have not completed college — he's doing about the same with them as the past two Democratic presidential candidates."

Well, that's slightly discouraging. But I'm hoping that with the rush of new voters and the hordes of independents shifting his way, he can counteract this.

All in all, I would say encouraging news for Obama.
