So let's see, 49% vrs 41%, yeup, Obama still in the lead there.
Who can blame the liberal fanatics for "accidentally" looking at the wrong statistics? The important ones are just too depressing for the poor dears.
As the thread title said, the youth vote is turning away from Obama. In 2008 he got 66% of it, but now he's dropping to 59% or less, since Romney has increased to 41%. And there are still months to go before the election, with Obama having nothing more to offer after 4 years of failure.
The poor liberal losers are like the passengers on the Titanic as it settles slowly into the water, lower and lower, who keep insisting "See, it hasn't sunk yet!"... as though that would somehow save them from their inevitable fate.
So let's see, 49% vrs 41%, yeup, Obama still in the lead there. Want to discuss the Paulbots, ultra-conservatives that see no difference between Romney and Obama, and lets not forget the Fundementalist Christians that believe Mittens belongs to a cult that will not be voting Republican this year.
Oh, almost forgot, now that Ryan is the VP choice, the vast majority of Indpendents will be voting Obama, and we all know i is They that make the final choice.
Slicing up current voting blocks based on the latest polls is an interesting pastime but its the Gallup Presidential Approval Poll that has consistently predicted winners and losers for many decades going all the way back to Truman.
No sitting president has won a second or third term (Truman) with a Gallup presidential approval rate below 53%.
In some cases, they didn't even survive their party's primary elections.
Bush Jr proved 53% to be the lowest approval rating a president can have and still win another go-round as he just squeaked by to a second term.
With Obama having spent the past 33 months with job approval numbers below the reelectable threshold of 53% it seems the issue isn't who isn't voting for Romney as much as it is who is not voting for Obama.

Well considering bammer got around 66% of the 18-29 age group in '08 this is troubling news if your on the communists side.
Is there any demographic group that is voting for Obama in the same precentages now, as they did in 2008?

the only group that matters in elections is independents. dems and repubs already will vote with their parties. only independents make or break an election.
Wishful thinking on the Republicon part. Most of the youth realize that an Obama vote will at least buy them another 4 years in Mom and Pop's home while a Romney vote will put the whole family in a cardboard box with a soup kitchen address.

an obama vote wont get them stay at mom and pops anymore. the way the country is going, they will be out on the street if obama is elected again. the young know that jobs are non existant because of the obama policies, and it isnt getting any better.
While the majority of the young adult voters will vote for Obama, Romney/Ryan will get a higher share of the young vote than John McCain did in 2008. Plus it's expected than the voter turnout among the young will be lower this year. Historically this has been the age group with the lowest voter turnout, 2008 was unusual.
Most of all there will be less enthusiasm and excitement among young Obama voters. I saw many get very emotional in 2008 including some literally in tears. They were whipped up in a hope and change frenzy. You will not see that this year.

Now, his former supporters are running away from him.
Think he lost some black voters when he came out in support of gay marriage. I've heard a lot if them say they vote for Romney, but they won't vote for Obama either, they'll just stay home. Young people voted for Obama in 2008 because it was the cool thing to do, but they have moved on to something else now. I guess he'll get the gay but they don't make up enough of the population to matter. Then you have the independent vote, the vote that really matters and they can't be happy with a unemployment rate above 8%(hello, remember when Clinton said "its the economy stupid")

You mean the same polls that say Americans want gay marriage even though every time it's put up for a vote it's voted down. Or the polls that told us governor Scott walker was going to be recalled in Wisconsin? How did that turn out for the Dems?
