Good news for Romney and the US in general

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."

Zogby helped Secrets dig deeper into his weekend poll, which we reported on earlier. The poll had Romney and Obama tied at 46 percent.

Zogby has been especially interested in the youth vote this election. In 2008, 66 percent chose Obama over Sen. John McCain,the highest percentage for a Democrat in three decades. But their desire for hope and change has turned to disillusionment and unemployment. Zogby calls them "CENGAs" for "college-educated, not going anywhere."

In his latest poll, Obama receives just 49 percent of the youth vote when pitted against Romney, who received 41 percent. In another question, the independent candidacy of Gary Johnson is included, and here Obama wins 50 percent, Romney 38 percent and Johnson 5 percent.

But while taking Johnson out of the equation in the past has seen a surge in support for Obama, now the numbers for Romney--and undecideds--increase.

Zogby speculates that Romney's selection of 42-year-old Rep. Paul Ryan helped turn more younger voters to him. "It could be his youthfulness," said Zogby of Ryan. Plus, he said, more younger voters are becoming libertarian, distrustful of current elected officials and worried that they are going to get stuck with the nation's looming fiscal bill.

"They want change," said Zogby.

He gave illegals a delay in deportation to buy Latino votes He gave the Gays the right to opennly serve in the Military and women got 9 bucks a month for birth control. Blacks got nothing as he knows they will vote for skin color anyway. So what is he going to give the youth to buy their vote back? It sure will not be a job like they need so Im guessing it will be more welfare with big and better entitlement programs to bankrupt the US, that they will have to pay back for the rest of their lives. :roll:

forgive studet loan debt would be my first guess to your question Tam.

he already tried to buy it by claiming to cut student loan interest..

Congress voted Friday to extend low 3.4% interest rates on federally subsidized student loans for another year, barely beating a July 1 deadline when the rates would double.

The House voted 373 to 52 to pass the bill. The Senate voted 74 to 19 to follow suit, and President Barack Obama was expected to sign it into law.

and he stole the money from seniors to fund it...

the revenue to extend the 3.4% rates should come from changes to the way companies fund pension programs.

I am not sure how many students will even notice. as the lowered rate was only for a year or so ..

it doesn't cover most students who already graduated and those in school are deferred so they probably will not notice.. but if your pension was just raided,.. I bet you will know.. :?

Hopefully "students' weill realize they will be paying for all of OT's "freebies"


Unless the "liberals" have done a really good job of "dumbing them down", I woud expect maybe even 50%, would figure out what is going on.
