Demographics-Do they Matter?

When it comes to the elections, I think the demographics between both candidates will be questioned by many citizens. As a person under the leadership of one of the candidates, I would want to have a clear picture of what Obama and McCain are doing economically. Obama was raised by a single parent, his grandma. According to these graphs 54% of children live in low income families. So because he went through a difficult life where his grandma had to give up what she wanted in order to put food on the table, it seems more likely that he would feel more sympathy for people who went through what he did. Concerning McCain, he might show a little bit more fairness to the people than Obama would, but also have more sympathy for soldiers because he was in the military.

Questions:
Is Demographics also practiced in different countries? When do the people of the state fill out a survey about all their household information?
