Two-Thirds of Young People Likely to Vote | Inside Higher Ed

This daily newsletter caters to colleges & universities. It skews left. My take is they are happy with this information (2/3 of 18-29 year olds, 52% for Obama, 35% for Romney, remaining 13% eat cereal with a fork (undecided or someone else).

I think the large number of undecideds (8%) help Romney; same as with older people. I think the someone else (4%) may hurt Romney (ie. Libertarians for Gary Johnson and the Ron Paul Luddites).

But in general terms, if only 52% of young people support Dear Leader, that has to be really bad news for them. It must have been way, way higher in 2008.
