Old for Obama?

For the past month, there has been an uptick for Obama in the polls. Which demographic has Obama seen this large up tick- the 55+ crowd. This is no surprise as most polls show that democratic candidates are more appealing to improve the economy. Elderly people want there medicare, social security, and a protection of there investment, which generally democratic candidates support. Zogby shows they support Obama by a 10 point margin from a nearly 10 point McCain poll.

Why is this bad for McCain? History shows that seniors vote in high margins, and this boost for Obama is going to really hurt McCain. In addition, there is a high amount of seniors in battle ground states specifically, Florida.

On another note, Pennsylvania is almost certainly going for Obama as he double digit leads confirmed by 11 polls. As stated in early posts he should draw out of PA, but he shouldn't tell the media about it.
