At P.S. 206, an elementay school in the Gravesend section of Brooklyn, 49 of the 50 voters we spoke with said that they had cast their presidential ballots for Democratic Senator Barack Obama of Illinois. By far the most important issue for voters appeared to be the economy (23), followed by the war in Iraq (17) and health care (7).
The lone McCain voter at that polling site made her decision based upon the issue of abortion. "I just can't vote for a candidate who promotes killing babies," she said.
Polls in New York remain open until 9 p,m.
