Surprisingly, Romney frequently scored higher
                             with 18 to 34 year-olds than Obama (the segment in the
                             middle that scored lower with younger voters).

This graph shows segments, alternating between Romney &
                             Obama’s speeches, demonstrating the President’s
                             compelling appeal to women (red line).

This suggests that, to win the election, both candidates
                             should target Independent voters in the middle.
