Maybe they didn't like obamanomics after all.

A Romney first: over 40% of youth vote back him | WashingtonExaminer.com

For the first time since he began running for president, Republican Mitt Romney has the support of over 40 percent of America's youth vote, a troubling sign for President Obama who built his 2008 victory with the overwhelming support of younger, idealistic voters.

Yeah, right. If you believe in that source you are stupider than anyone thought.

 

[Katzndogz]

Only Think Progress is a reliable source.

 

[Dr.House]

Yeah, right. If you believe in that source you are stupider than anyone thought.

Zogby is not a reputable source?

 

[Papageorgio]

There is no reputable source, unless the Democrats deem it a reputable source, then it automatically becomes one, unless, they decide the next day it is not, then...you get the picture.

They have no clue, just an agenda.

Today's Rasmussen poll shows Romney attracting support from 47% of voters nationwide, while President Obama earns the vote from 43%.

I find that hard to believe, not impossible but unlikely. Whats that old saying, if by the time youre 20 your not a democrat you have no heart, if by the time youre 30 you're not a republican you have no brain.
However I don't see the youth vote being an issue this election, I'm thinking we will see less youth turnout than in the 04 election.

The youth vote not turning out in the election is one of the biggest issue, at least for democrats. Youth is one of thier core groups they need to turnout to win the election.

The "no toss ups" map is still a non starter.

27% of the 40% will get drunk and forget to vote the next day.

Gen X'ers love them some Paul Ryan.

Ummm, gen X would be in their mid to late 30's by now. Not really the youth vote. I don't have a clue what they call the late teens and early 20's now, but they are not gen X.

Let's see, Obama is young and stupid, lies all the time and the youth votes know it. Biden is old and stupid, some of the stuff that comes out of his mouth is a BFD!!

Romney is a wise business man, knows how to turn things around to make them profitable, knows what works and what doesn't. Ryan is young, smart, good looking and tells it like it is.

I'm thinking those 53% of unemployed college grads aren't gonna be voting for the Liar-in-Chief this time around. They are a pretty smart group!!

 

[Claudette]

No jobs out there for all those college grads.

Didn't Barry promise them Hope and Change??

Guess Jobs weren't in the equation.

Please, continue to ignore any new data contrary to your position...

It is obviously irrelevant...

 

[tererun]

Yeah, right. If you believe in that source you are stupider than anyone thought.

Zogby is not a reputable source?

The source is basically some guy on a republican opinion site trying to look like a newspaper, saying he got the info from some other guy who has a polling organization. Whatever, I could call up my friends and pretend it is a poll too and make a opinion site that looks like a newspaper. Would you buy it if tererun's washington insider international news got a call from bob's super scientifically accurate polling organization that said Obama had 40 percent of registered republicans who supported him?

If pretend newspapers are all you got, then you are pretty fucked.
