Over 40% Of Youth Vote Backs Mitt Romney
This news must really sting the Obama campaign, considering they won in 2008 with overwhelming support of the youth vote.
Four years later, students are graduating from college only to find themselves saddled with debt in a bleak job market.
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.
Pollster John Zogby of JZ Analytics told Secrets Tuesday that Romney received 41 percent in his weekend poll of 1,117 likely voters, for the first time crossing the 40 percent mark. What’s more, he said that Romney is the only Republican of those who competed in the primaries to score so high among 18-29 year olds.
“This is the first time I am seeing Romney’s numbers this high among 18-29 year olds,” said Zogby. “This could be trouble for Obama who needs every young voter he can get.”

Excellent news, and thanks to the college students who are attempting to spread the word. It is a sad commentary that so many college students support Obama, whose policies will destroy their future if he is reelected.
