First time voters flock to Sen. Barack Obama, but will they actually make it to the polls?

A recent Wall Street Journal Poll showed that 69% of new and returning voters plan to vote for Sen. Obama. Although there are still warning signs that new voters are traditionally difficult to get to the polls on Election Day. Historically, the minorities and young voters don’t turnout at the polls, but whether they do or not, a small percentage could make a significant impact.

A number of States have allowed early voting as a way to persuade voters to get out and vote. A significant concern for the first-time and returning voters was increasing the number of good-paying jobs.
