“Polls show Obama taking ‘solid’ leads in four key states” reports that Obama is leading over the 50% mark in key battleground states like Colorado, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. It also states that he is leading or tied with John McCain among white voters in all of the those states. The article claims that Obama’s campaign has been boosted by the economic crisis and his debate performance.
Another top story, “Where they stand: McCain, Obama split on education” discusses the near absence of the topic of education in the presidential campaign. It states that Obama has spoken more about education than his opponent, John McCain. Both opponents have avoided discussing No Child Left Behind. The article includes education issues and the candidates’ opinions on these issues.
“Pennsylvania no slam-dunk for Democrats” reports that although Democratic voting registration has greatly increased in Pennsylvania, Obama’s race could be a determining factor. In Cambria County where Palin has had successful rallies, Clinton beat Obama 74% to 26%. Palin is using her role as a hunter and wife of a steel worker to appeal to voters. The article stresses race as a possible reason for Pennsylvania voters to respond unfavorably to Obama.
