Obama's appeal to white voters

On Saturday, the Wall Street Journal had one of the most interesting voter stories I've ever read. A very counterintutive piece about why many white voters are attracted to Obama as a candidate precisely because of his mixed-race background, and at the same time, why he lags behind Hillary Clinton in support from African-American voters.

It's also a great example of how to use polling results in these kinds of stories
