Could Obama Lose The Youth Vote in November?

The New York Times published a report over the weekend indicating that America’s youth are beginning to leave the “Obama brigade” either 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? Growing up in an age when their older neighbors and siblings likely graduated and got jobs, the unemployment rate for 18 and 19-year-olds was 23.5 percent in May, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and for those between the ages of 20 to 24 it’s about 12.9 percent.

Instead of landing exciting jobs, America’s youth are now either moving back in with their parents, or likely know someone who is. And while they may appreciate being able to stay on their parent’s health insurance until they are 26, many prickle at the fact that they are not able to support themselves and buy their own, thanks to such a weak economy.

The Romney campaign says it has already crafted a plan to reach the young voters, and they’re tackling it with enthusiasm.
“Dorm room to dorm room” or “parent’s basement to parent’s basement, wherever they are because of the economy, that’s where we’ll be going,” Joshua Baca, the campaign’s national coalition director, said. Bottom line, they want to emphasize the fact that the president’s economic policies are not working.
The Youth Misery Index claims: “Young people are battling one of the worst job markets in the last century, and hundreds of billions of federal ‘stimulus’ dollars have failed to revive the labor market…Thanks to big government and the Obama administration, young people are miserable.”
And the New York Times interviewed many who had reached a similar conclusion:
Mr. Tevlin, [an] Indiana student, said his exhaustive search for meaningful summer employment was so futile that he took a job cleaning toilets and septic tanks. “I think we’re in pretty deep trouble, and the future, as far as jobs, is not looking good at all,” he said.
[...]
Today, specifically, the youngest potential voters are more likely than their older peers to think it is important to protect individual liberties from government, the Harvard data suggest, and less likely to think it is important to tackle things like climate change, health care or immigration.
Mr. Tevlin, for instance, found the Supreme Court ruling upholding Mr. Obama’s health care law troubling.
“I don’t think the government should force you to buy anything,” he said.
Among those interviewed and polled, young voters reportedly care about the economy more than anything else– quite a change from last election, when “global warming” or waterboarding were far trendier causes.
“This time, it’s more about what you’re going to do for the economy,” Brandon Dennis, who comes from a black family of Obama supporters, said.
He told the Times he registered as an independent, and is listening to Romney’s ideas.
Peter Levine of Tufts University says that, at the very least, the lack of excitement this election poses “a challenge” for the president’s re-election campaign.
At most, it could throw the election altogether. Because when the country’s youth hurts, it’s not just their voting bloc that notes it– it’s their parents, grandparents, neighbors and mentors.

My business is my business and I really don’t want to answer questions from somebody who is interrupting my day. That doesn‘t mean that I don’t have strong political views. Conservatives historically have been laid back, while liberals are usually more willing to voice their opinion. That’s where the term “the silent majority” comes from. MY poll is observing the people I work with and how either their views are becoming more conservative or they are beginning to speak up. One black girl that I work with told me that she knows a lot of people who are afraid to speak out against Obama for fear of being called traitors to their race. My prediction is that there are many people who, when in the privacy of the voting booth, will vote for freedom.

Posted on July 3, 2012 at 1:07pmThe progressive flock of the GOP are going to be very disappointed when they see how many votes Ron Paul will be able to win. I have a feeling Ron Paul is much more popular than the what the corrupt media will tell you. All media has either blacked out Paul completely or vilified him.
Ron Paul has a little over a million likes on Facebook. Romney; who the media has fawned over has a little over 2 million. That is not very much more considering the fact that Romney has had all the air time and backing.
Ron Paul supporters will vote on their principals. Ron Paul supporters want a constitutionally sound candidate. Mitt Romney is a LIBERAL in sheeps clothing who has used the constitution as toilet paper.
Most of you sheep know Romney is a Liberal Rhino who is not much better than Obama. You go ahead and vote for progressive Mitt Romney. You who will vote only to get Obama OUT OF office instead of voting for the right person to put INTO office. Tell me again; who is wasting their vote? Those who will be voting for the right candidate or those who will be voting just to remove Obama.
IMO those who would use their vote to remove Obama are the ones WASTING their vote.
You can count me in as one of those who will vote for the ONLY constitutionally sound candidate. Ron Paul.

Posted on July 2, 2012 at 5:43pmYou aren’t going to get a majority of youth voters to vote Republican. Most will go Obama. Some will go Paul. Romney is slime and we all know it. Many people reluctantly accept that they will vote for him because he’s not Obama. The scariest part about him, at least in this election, is that no one is sure what he actually believes. Is he left-leaning or not? Nobody knows because he has dozens of sound clips and interviews saying opposing things about any and every relevant issue. If he beats Obama, and he has a darned good chance, I don‘t think he’ll be any different than your “socialist-in-chief.” He is a puppet on strings.

Posted on July 2, 2012 at 5:33pmWe all believe our children will get a balanced education and learn to weigh both sides of an argument before they graduate from college. Carefully read the course descriptions for your child’s history, economic, environmental, and government classes. If the words “social justice”, “international justice”, or “sustainability” appear, be ready for indoctrination! Many professors in our universities believe it is their responsibility to persuade young adults to support massive entitlement programs and to buy into the notion that we must send money to other countries in the form of carbon credits. In reality, this is more about the redistribution of wealth than helping people or the environment. To idealistic college kids, this all sounds revolutionary and who doesn’t want us to have a clean environment? The Democratic Party takes advantage of this brainwashing as they actively pursue the “youth vote” on our college campuses.
I recently discovered a chapter titled “The Progressive Era” in a middle school history book. When did the period in the early 1900’s get that name? The book celebrates Woodrow Wilson (who didn’t believe that black people should be educated with whites) and FDR (who changed the make-up of the Supreme Court to get the New Deal past the Court’s outcries of unconstitutionality) as heroes of the Progressive Movement.

It’s really as simple as that. Why vote for the same guy who has done nothing FOR you?

Posted on July 2, 2012 at 5:12pmObama hit a perfect storm in 2008, first he lied better than the Clinton machine and then McCain a good man, as honest as they come in DC and a war hero. His mistake was having Palin as his running mate. It wasn’t her as much as it was his age and if he should die a relatively newcomer would become President. However in hindsight she would be better than the clown machine we have in office now, heck Jimmy Carter was better than we have now. John just didn’t have the gift of gab and BS BO has or had. Bo used new media and promises a mile high and the youth took the bait. I don’t think they are stupid enough to do that again. They may not vote for Romney but just as good they won’t be voting for BO. He has lost a big percentage of the youth vote, the Jewish vote, the elderly because of cutting their healthcare, the Catholic vote, huge Independent voters. He has the gays but they will vote for the most liberal anyway. I predict a landslide for Romney, he needs to be offering alternatives, he needs to have answers, and he needs to come off as more real although he is 10 times more Presidential than BO.

I will never ever ever vote for a coward Republican that won’t stick with the Constitution. Especially when this man says he would leave the NDAA or Hr-347 alone. This is murderous. And if you support it than your a murderer too and God would be ashamed of you. And don‘t tell me Ron Paul can’t win. You people and the media have been lying to us about everything from the start. You never once reported factual evidence on what was going on in the Ron Paul Campaign, Your all a bunch of shills. The media played you all. They picked Romney from the start and the media game plan is to get Obama re-elected so shame on YOU! For listening to the crooked evil empire. Keep saying we can’t win Willie because people like you motivated me to bring thousands with me to Tampa, lose or not.We are going to fill the streets with thousands of people and their is nothing you can do about it. The revolution will start their. I have principles. You can keep being a Sheep. But don’t you ever tell me I am for Obama, because in reality you are because Romney will never beat Obama. EVER!! And I don’t care about your stupid opinion you glenn beck bot.

Posted on July 2, 2012 at 5:03pmBarry’s economic “plans” create two issues for the young:
1) The “War on Business” is causing most companies to simply not hire. This results in the aforementioned jobless rate for the young. They are starting to realize that new entrants to the job market (grads) are dependent upon NEW job creation and that Barry’s plans are blocking that;
2) When they actually DO get a job, they’re the ones that will be paying for this monstrous government for the REST OF THEIR LIVES. Many of us have only a few years left (or in my case, am already retired) and won’t pay during the worst of times in the next decade.
So, in a way, they’re starting to realize that there ARE consequences to their actions (conservative principal), and when the young voters support Barry and the Progressive Liberal big government spending, they’ll pay for it.

Posted on July 2, 2012 at 4:58pmThe youth vote and the black vote will be replaced by all of the illegals his EO just granted amnesty. Add to that the disgruntled democrats that wont vote for Romney and the independents that wont vote for him and the Ron Paul supporters that wont vote for him and it adds up to Obama being re-elected by about 8%. That explains the dead cat bounce Romney got after the SCOTUS decision on Obamatax. The RNC dun goofed pushing a guy that lost to a guy that Obama beat 4 years ago.

Posted on July 2, 2012 at 4:54pmIt‘s not so much he’ll lose the youth vote as he’ll lose numbers from the youth vote. Obama certainly won’t see the turnout he saw in 2008. A significant number will stay home, which essentially translates into a vote for Romney.

Posted on July 2, 2012 at 4:53pmIts about time some of them are seeing reality of Obama and his junk messages of lies and distortion; I hope we can defeat him this November, and that he does not decide to just up and nullify the elections and make himself a true dictator.
