Which demographic groups can decide an election? Everyone of them, each in his own way<\/h3>\n

In this week’s edition of Observador Newsletter – Special American Elections, journalist Jo\u00e3o de Almeida Dias analyzes all the divisions that exist in the American electorate.<\/p>\n

From demographic divisions to geographic divisions, to gender and ethnicity, it is very much what makes the electorate in the United States particular, and that influences not only the way campaigns are made, but also how Presidents govern.<\/p>\n

In a year when divisions seem sharper than ever, read the Observador newsletter to understand what is at stake.<\/p>\n

The newsletter is out every Monday. To received it in your email box, go to www.observador.pt<\/a>. You can access all newsletters at this link.<\/a><\/p>\n
