In 2008, Obama claimed a huge majority of the youth vote over John McCain, as he swept into office with the uplifting message of hope and change. That year, Obama led McCain among youth voters by a 34-point margin.
The latest Pew Research poll, however, shows Obama leading Romney among the youth by only half the margin of four years ago–a mere 17 points.
With this critical base of support on the wane, it just might be the youth vote that makes the difference this year.
The polls indicate that Romney is attracting support from an a larger number of young adults. And that’s good news for the GOP.
