I bet Obama will be in traction by the time the election is over.

If Obama is losing his "cool" with young voters - the so-called Millenials, he's TOAST!

Can’t help it when the only thing Hussein spouts is “hope” and ‘change” like a broken IPod. AND young people can’t help it when the potential GOP VP is a MILF.

See Hollywood getting more and more involved now. This is GREAT news...the one factor this year which is different than all other years is the great youth get out the vote movement Obama has. THe polls don’t take that into consideration, and frankly, it’s been the wildcard. This puts me at ease.

Young people see Palin’s family and identify with them and their challenges... and that’s the reality Mr. O has to deal with.

Yes, I have to admit for the first 5 minutes of being exposed to him, I thought he was bringing positivity and new energy to politics. I wouldn’t have voted for him, but I didn’t dislike him. The more I saw him and learned about him, the more I came to despise him. I think he is the worst candidate they have had in a long time- worse than Kerry, Gore, and much worse than Bubba, Dukakis, and Mondale. Of course, I am solidly in the Conservative camp, but I can’t imagine others don’t notice how arrogant and negative he is.

Young people are into fads and fads by definition fade. Obama was fashionable over spring and summer but its time is gone.

The media is reporting that Camp 0bama is planning to go into full rabid mode tomorrow. McCain/Palin need to keep their cool and let the world finally see who the messiah really is.

I was suprised when a poll here in Michigan had McCain leading 50%-39% for the 18-29 age range. I wonder how many of these were in the sample and how the survey found them. It seems that this age group tends to have cell phones only and may not be listed in the normal way to be found.

He is starting to look a bit like howdy dowdy to me. The more I see of him the more he truly exceeds his reputation as an empty suit. He is vacuous, empty suit.

Just you wait, though. Didn't "Puff Daddy" Obama warn that McCain doesn't know what he's dealing with?

Turns out Ears-Hussein was right but not the way he meant it in that metrosexual faux-swagger of his.

Gallup uses cell phones. Wouldn’t be surprised if the other pollsters do too. Not an issue anymore IMO.

However, regarding that particular McCain+1 in Michigan poll, its internals are too screwy to be relied on as anything more than part of a general trend pointing to a close race in Michigan.

This is a pretty incomplete article. Where are the results of the poll?

The issue is not so much the number of young voters who have switched to McCain. It is more a question of how many of them have lost their enthusiasm for Obama and will now no longer volunteer for him or bother to show up to vote on election day.

Most analysts agree that without a big turnout from young voters, Obama cannot win.
