...impact of the weather is difficult to predict. Clinton typically performs better among older voters and senior citizens, who may be more likely to stay home in inclement weather. On the other hand, Obama's fortunes depend on his ability to recruit and mobilize his own grassroots base that is independent of the Democratic Party establishment, which in Ohio has largely supported Clinton.
