Psychology & Psyche Black v/s

WhiteThe N-word is still being used.

Studies have shown that people who do not think of

themselves as racists still behave as racists would.Most US citizens are also intrinsically emotionally put off bythe apparition of someone not like them

Obamas personality may have influenced some of the

Americans views on racism.But legal and political racism isnow history in the USA.

Under- 30's An estimated 44 million Americans between the ages of 18 and 29 were eligible tovote in the upcoming 08 election, according to Rock the Vote, an organizationdedicated to engaging young people politically. Of those 44 million, 17 million are voting-age college students, a large percentageof whom have ranked college costs and worries about student loans and their ability toPay for their education as among their top concerns

At the 2008 presidential primaries, 6.5 million voters under the age of 30 turnedout to cast their vote 66% of under-30's showed their support for Obama - far higher than in anyprevious election - compared to 31% for McCain.A staggering 54% of young white voters

also went for Obama Overall, this also helped Obama secure a high number of first time voters; 71% ofwhom voted Democrat

McCain only managed to secure 29% of first-time voters, compared to 53% for JohnKerryin 2004 Obama's youth - at 47 he is one of the youngest ever presidents - appealed to and

energised many of those who were voting for the first


22/48


23/48

Hispanics

66% of Hispanic voters turned out for Obama - the best ever result for a Democrat.McCain only took 31% of the Hispanic vote, despite courting them heavily in hiscampaign.Obama used techniques such as Spanish-language adverts to win the Hispanicvoters over, many of whom had grown disgruntled with the Bush administration.

Asians63% of Asian voters went to the ballot for Obama and 34% for McCain

Jews

78% of the Jewish vote went to Obama. Jewish support - which made up 2% of theoverall electorate - has, in recent years, been overwhelmingly Democrat; with Al

Gore receiving 79% in 2000 and John Kerry 74% in 2004

Christians

Nearly 25 per cent of U.S. adults - about 30 million - are Catholic and 54 per centof them voted for pro-abortion Obama as opposed to 46 per cent for McCain.Observers say the economy became the key issue for many Catholic Americans,

which, along with issues such as the Iraq War and health care, eclipsed abortion


24/48

Single voters

Obama won this category by a landslide, with 66% of single votersgoing to the ballot for him, compared to only 32% for McCain.

Married voters

51% of married voters supported McCain and 47% voted for Obama.This was a drop from 2004 for McCain compared with Bush's 15point lead in 2004.

Senior Citizens

51% of over- 65's voted for McCain - including veterans - and madeup 16% of the entire electorate. They were therefore not dissimilar ininfluence to the under- 30's on the overall result.


25/48

High earners

McCain - who was expected to triumph amongst the wealthy,succeeded in polling only 45% of these voters.

traditionally struggle in rural areas, where many of this category live. 84% of Democrats who initially voted for Hillary Clinton in the

primaries voted for Obamas.

Suburban/Rural voters
