4. Here's an important aspect of the poll.

Gallup's likely voter scenarios show differing patterns. If turnout in this year's election follows traditional patterns by which the voting electorate skews towards those who usually vote as well as those who are interested in this year's election, the race is a close one, with Obama holding on to a two percentage point margin, 49% to 47%. If a much higher than usual proportion of new voters turn out, thus increasing the potential impact of groups of voters traditionally less likely to vote, such as young adults and minorities, Obama has a six-point lead, 51% to 45%.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

So, big turnout of new voters is important for Obama.
