Senator Obama has more support among younger and urban voters than Senator Clinton does.

On the other hand, she performs better than him in the rural areas, with blue collars and voters older than 65.

At this juncture, the key factor that will decide the November's elections outcome could be pure demographic. Older voters are more " reliable " than the young demographic.
