Summary:

Former Clinton pollster Stan Greenberg defines the key voters who will determine the outcome of the 2004 election. America is divided by the thinnest of margins. The political world as we have known it for the last quarter century has been stuck at a partisan impasse. Politicians locked into this fight kowtow desperately to the two or three percent of indecisive and often reluctant voters who can tip the scales. The Two Americas retraces the history of how the U.S. became so politically divided and where our nation is headed. Stan Greenberg, an internationally renowned pollster best known as a member of Bill Clinton's "War Room," delineates the key groups that comprise the vital base for the Republicans and the Democrats and assesses the even more prized voting blocs that are up for grabs and may swing the balance of Beltway power. For political junkies trying to fashion their electoral maps. The Two Americas will be the talked about book of the 2004 election cycle.
