The New York Times published a report over the weekend indicating that America’s youth are beginning to leave the “Obama brigade” in favor of Mitt Romney, or a sense of helplessness.
During the 2008 election, young voters preferred Barack Obama to John McCain by a margin of roughly 68% to 30%, and now the New York Times is reporting:
In the four years since President Obama swept into office… a new corps of men and women have come of voting age with views shaped largely by the recession. And unlike their counterparts in the millennial generation who showed high levels of enthusiasm for Mr. Obama at this point in 2008, the nation’s first-time voters are less enthusiastic about him, are significantly more likely to identify as conservative and cite a growing lack of faith in government in general, according to interviews, experts and recent polls.
[...]
Among all 18- to 29-year-olds, the poll found a high level of undecided voters; 30 percent indicated that they had not yet made up their mind. And turnout among this group is expected to be significantly lower than for older voters.
“We’re also seeing that these younger members of this generation are beginning to show some more conservative traits. It doesn’t mean they are Republican. It means Republicans have an opportunity [John Della Volpe, director of polling at the Harvard Institute of Politics, said].” [Emphasis added]
And who can blame them?
