The figures coming out of Pennsylvania are good news for Hillary Clinton and not so good news for Barack Obama, according to a Politico analysis available on Yahoo News.

In brief—

In 12 states, Clinton has won white men–Obama has done the same in just 10 states…and much smaller states than Clinton,

Clinton won a majority of all voters aged 40 and older and six in ten voters without a college degree–which means Obama’s “bitter” remarks may have hurt him in Pennsylvania.

For all the talk about how young people will make or break this election, young Democrats made up only 12 percent of voters yesterday.

Clinton won about six in 10 of those who made up their minds in the past several days, says the analysis.

And, Clinton won a majority of those who said the economy is the most important issue.

Interesting figures and interesting reading.
