The Path to 270 Revisited: The Role of Demographics, Economics, and Ideology in the 2012 Presidential Election

Washington, D.C.–(ENEWSPF)–September 25, 2012.  With less than two months to go until the presidential election of 2012, the Center for American Progress released an updated report analyzing the role demographics, economics, and ideology will play in the 2012 elections. The report, by Senior Fellows and Co-Directors of the Progressive Studies Program at American Progress, Ruy Teixeira and John Halpin, concludes that demographics will be a strong force that may tip the electoral balance in some key states despite voters‘ negative perception of the economy. Such a force, made up of communities of color, the millennial generation, professionals, single women and secular voters,  is helping President Obama lead narrowly nationwide and in most of the key battleground states.
