Did Barack Obama pull out an un­
precedented number of first time vot­
ers? Younger voters? Black voters?
Has apolitical realignment taken place?
How Barack Obama Won is state-
by-state guide to the historic 2008
Presidential election by Chuck Todd,
political director and Sheldon Gawiser,
elections director of NBC News.
The authors put the 2008 presiden­
tial election in political and demo­
graphic perspective, even as it reveals
national trends.
The book is divided into
four parts, each of which pro­
ceeds alphabetically state by
state: B attleground States
(e .g ., C o lo rad o , F lo rid a,
Idaho); E m erging B attle­
ground States (e.g., Arizona,
Georgia, Montana); Receding
B attleground States (e.g.,
Michigan, Pennsylvania); Red
and Blue States (e.g., Idaho
and Mississippi, California and
New York).
The votes in each state for
Obama and McCain are bro­
ken down by percentage ac­
cording to gender, age, race,
party, religious affiliation, edu­
cation, household income,
size of city, and according to
views about the most impor­
tant issue.
Comparative figures for the
2004 Bush-Kerry election are
provided. Each state profile is
comprised of a table of results
-with key factors highlighted-
- and analysis.
From the book's treasury
o f facts you will leam that the
ratio of first-time to previous
voters was identical to the
2004 split. Eleven percent of
the electorate voted for the
first time in 2004 and 2008. In
2008, 70 percent voted for
Obama whereas in 2004 only
53 percent voted for Kerry.
Obama won the white vote
in 18 states and the District of

Columbia: CA, CO, CT. DE, HI, IL,
IA, ME, MA, MI. MN, NH, NY, OR,
RI, WA, W1 and VT. Obama received
less than 35 percent of the white vote
in 13 states, with Louisiana (14 per­
cent), Mississippi (11 percent) and
Alabama (10 percent) picking up the
rear.
With the exception of Missouri
(which barely went to McCain), Obama
won every state where Bush's approval
rating was below 35 percent in the exit
polls; he lost every state where Bush's
approval rating was above 35 percent.
Bush's approval rating was highest in
Utah (47 percent), which supported
McCain by a 29 point margin, and
lowest in Washington, D.C. (8 per­
cent), where McCain received only 7
percent of the vote.
