Young Voters Choose Obama 2-to-1 Over McCain
Monday, October 6, 2008 11:03 AM
A new poll released Monday says young voters pick Barack Obama over John McCain. The poll by USA Today, MTV and Gallup finds that 75% of young people are registered to vote and among youth voters Democratic candidate Senator Barack Obama has a two-to-one lead over Republican candidate Senator John McCain.
Sixty three percent of respondents say they’d vote for Obama today vs. 30 percent who would vote for McCain - an overwhelming edge and the biggest generational gap between two candidates ever seen since exit polling began in 1976.
Increasing turnout among young voters in 2004, 2006 and in the 2008 primaries indicates to many analysts that young people will be out in force in November, despite the perception that this demographic consists of unreliable voters.
Their strongly Democratic partisan bent could be good news for Democrats for years to come, given that political attitudes in past elections have shaped partisanship through voters’ lifetimes.
Regardless of which side of the aisle young voters fall on, 82 percent agree that this election is among the most critical in recent history. The USA Today/MTV/Gallup poll finds that young voters see Obama as much more likely to understand their lives and share their priorities. He’s also the one they’d rather sit down and have a beer with, have as their teacher or report to as their boss.
