The Young And The GOP
ByRon Brownstein detects a generational wipe-out:
Gallup cumulated all of its 123,000 interviews this year to examine
party identification in the electorate. Among the Millennial
generation, it found that just 21% identify as Republicans, compared to
36% as Democrats and 34% as independents... In the Gallup tracking polling that's been conducted since January,
Obama's approval rating among voters younger than 30 has never fallen
below 66%. His approval rating among young voters consistently runs
somewhere between six and nine points higher than his overall showing:
today, Obama receives positive approval ratings from a dizzying 75% of
voters under 30, compared to 66% from the country overall.
He represents the country they live in. Rush Limbaugh doesn't.
