<<<< Sorry for the "blur" but it is what it is. And what is that? In the '08 election, while Obama won with 53 of the popular vote, he took the youth vote by 66%. Just over 30% of America's voted for McCain. That was then. This is now.
Out of the Washington Examiner, we discover this rather startling news:
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."
Editor's notes: what is most important, in this case, is this: we are talking about "swing voting," or moving from one political party to another. In 2008, the GOP's 26% youth vote (for McCain) has evolved into a hearty (and growing) youth vote of 41%. . . . . . . . . very bad news for Obama and great news for the nation.
