Obama 5-1 over Hillary among Young Voters?

Obama 5-1 over Hillary among Young Voters?

CNN just reported that young voters are in fact showing up - perhaps 25% of all caucus-goers, which would be a higher share of the electorate than young people actually comprise (22% of the population).

That would be huge - better than expectations - and if true would probably put to rest a lot of my fears about the media disparaging youth turnout (regardless of whether or not Obama actually pulls out a win).

Update <2008-1-3 21:9:34 by Jonathan Singer>: From MSNBC reading the entrance polls, 57 percent of Obama's support comes from 17-29 year olds. Yeah. Wow is right.

That is awesome. I figured he would have to rely on those middle aged voters, but this is good news. I'm glad the young people are getting active.

at least that was the meme.

They knew they had the students and made sure they got there. Good work.

The hatchet job presenting Hillary as ancien regime has worked its magic.

a percentage point or two between them....So get real!

Hillary's campaign derided young voters.

so they better take responsibility for it. it`s still a long road to the white house but i`m really pleased the young adults turned out to vote for obama
