Young voters have not abandoned Obama: poll

[NJMaverick]

Quote:(Reuters) - Young voters, who were crucial to President Barack Obama's election in 2008, have not soured on him and now support the Democrat in greater numbers than in the fall, according to a Harvard University poll.

The survey also showed that young voters worry most about the economy, and still turn to traditional news outlets for political coverage.

In the latest iteration of Harvard's Institute of Politics poll of 18 to 29 year olds, 55 percent of the so-called Millenial Generation approve of Obama's job performance, up by six percentage points from the previous poll in October.

Looking forward to 2012, Obama leads a generic Republican candidate by 12 percentage points, results show.

I'll second that, Cha. Young people know much is on the line for their future and also know the Republcans will destroy that future whenever given the chance.
Obama is the best chance this country has to succeed.
