Poll: Youth vote turning away from Obama, Democrats

[Little-Acorn]

This is hardly a surprise.

A lot of the 18-24 year old voters from 2008, that swooned and cheered and cried in overwrought ecstasy over the former "Hope and Change" candidate back then, are starting to realize that they are still living in their parents' homes four years later, unable to get any kind of start in the miserable and uncertain economy that has gotten no better in nearly four years of Obama's presidency.

And more and more of them are starting to feel that, with the election of more and more stop-the-wild-spending TEA Party candidates, the Republican party might finally be changing its old Bush-era ways, and finally be the one to back, to straighten things out.

More and more, people who backed Obama in 2008, a are turning away from him in 2012.

Poll: Is the youth vote slowly turning to Romney?
posted at 1:21 pm on August 15, 2012 by Erika Johnsen

Yesterday, I wondered whether the almost 17 percent youth unemployment rate would do anything to check the type of overwhelming support President Obama received from young people in 2008. Apparently, there’s ‘hope’ for us young people yet — Obama received a whopping 66 percent of the youth vote the first time around, and while he still has the lead over Romney, that level of support is slipping pretty drastically. From the Wash Examiner:

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.” …

In his latest poll, Obama receives just 49 percent of the youth vote when pitted against Romney, who received 41 percent.

Yup — it lookin’ more and more like the youths are increasingly disillusioned with the poor results of President Obama’s policies....

More republican lies.

More republican lies.

You make the charge, document it. IOW, prove it.

[Little-Acorn]

Little vader proving his smears..... providing documentation..... now THAT'S funny....!

[Vader]

You make the charge, document it. IOW, prove it.

As a mod, you have no business being in this discussion. Your obvious political bias and known favoritistic behavior makes your participation here inappropriate and offensive. Please leave this thread.... or better yet surrender your status and leave DA.

You asking me to debunk republican lies is just as lame as asking me to provide evidence of the holocaust.

Also, could you please provide documentation for the Republican lies you were talking about? Thanks.

[Elohssa]

Right, because that age group loves politics, and nothing screams NEW HOTNESS! like Willard Mitt Romney.

I don't know if you've noticed, but going around telling people to not post on here doesn't ever work.

Can you do it?

[86Dùde]

More republican lies.

How did you ever end up this partisan? Do you ever listen to the crap that comes out of your speaker? Seriously, you're hopelessly lost, but you like guns and that's a feather in your cap as far as I'm concerned.

[SivVulk]

it doesn't take much sleuthing to discover that hotair.com is owned by Salem Communications, an organization that dominates US radiowaves, has ties with the Council for National Policy and its owners supported Bush's re-election.

Does this mean that indications regarding the amount of youth backing Obama is diminished are utterly false? No. But on the flip side it doesn't automatically mean that every one of those youth dissatisfied with Obama will vote for Romney. I cannot help but laugh at Romney for choosing Paul Ryan as his VP. By doing so I think he'll lose support from any independents who were even considering voting for him. Ryan is also a tool who was a virtual yes man to every one of Bush's economical policies. His extremist views on social spending and his misogynist views on women make him all the more unappealing imho.

For a somewhat contrasting view on this very same issue of youth disillusionment I suggest this:

Based on my observation, the "youth" are the dumbest in world history and still support OBama. Folks who have to work do not support Obama. Folks who like to live off the work of others support Obama. And of course zionists support OBama, but don't mind Romney since he is hellbent on escalating the AIPAC invasions and chaos.

You make the charge, document it. IOW, prove it.

Vader should not have to.
This BS in the original post was written by some right wing party hack who could not post facts so he invented his own.

And any young person who votes Republican is stupid. These assholes have nothing to offer the youth of America except more taxes to support the superwealthy, no medical care, no jobs, the end of pell grants, the end of student loans and more wars.

I work and work very hard. And I would take Obama over Romney any day.

Romney never worked a day in his life. He was fed with a silver spoon. How in the hell any working person can believe his bullshit is beyond me.

[Alberto_Balsalm]

More republican lies.

What were the lies here?

BTW, you're probably not aware of this, but John Zogby, the pollster who conducted the poll referenced in the article was a Democrat the last time I checked.

Vader should not have to.

Why? He should have the ability to state why he objects to the content of the article in the original post. Otherwise, his statement that said article is nothing but "More republican lies" should be treated as the emotional knee-jerk reaction that it appears to be.

This BS in the original post was written by some right wing party hack who could not post facts so he invented his own.

Translation: You reject reality and substitute your own. Additionally, it would seem that you either have not read the article, or I was previously unaware that "Erika" is a guy's name. I'm pretty sure that it's the former.

[Šñøü†ê®]

I work and work very hard. And I would take Obama over Romney any day.

I AGREE ROMNEY IS WORSE THAT OBAMA. THE ONLY OPTION WAS RON PAUL AND THAT IS WHO INTERESTED INDIVIDUALS UNTIL THE MSM SQUASHED HIM. IT IS DIFFICULT TO GET FOLKS TO REALIZE THE DEMOCRAT VS. REPUBLICAN BATTLE IS COMPLETE AND TOTAL BULLSHIT. THE GOVERNOR OF KKKONECTIKKKUT IS A DEMOCRAT AND JUST OFFERED A WALL STREET ENTITY, THE 1%, OVER $100,000,000 IN MONEY FROM TAXPAYERS THEY DO NOT HAVE TO REPAY. SOUND FAMILIAR! I NOTICE THE GOVERNMENT NEVER GIVES AMERICAN TAXPAYING CITIZENS MONEY THAT DOES NOT NEED TO BE REPAID, JUST CORPORATIONS, FUCKED UP FOREIGN COUNTRIES, SHIT LIKE THAT!

[Šñøü†ê®]

And of course zionists support OBama, but don't mind Romney since he is hellbent on escalating the AIPAC invasions and chaos.

It is somewhat hopeful some youngsters understand what is happening!

Vader should not have to.

Okay, then you do it.

I don't know if you are aware or not, but democrats have been in power the last 4 years, so whatever situation the young have facing them is the responsibility of said democrats.
