Jeff Johnson on 13 Oct 08The Democratic Party's outreach to young people and to people of faith seems to be paying off.

In the biggest shift over the past four years, Senator Obama now wins the backing of 60 percent of voters who attend religious services once or twice a month, a jump from the 49 percent the Democratic nominee won in 2004.
