You mean the 18-24 age group?
It was 53-43 for Mac yesterday, and about even for the days before that.
Back on 10/13, it was 66-26 for Obama. So, either there's been a wide swing, or the sample size is so small that they are getting anomalous results.
Or, maybe the 18-24 group finally figured out what Obama meant when he said that everyone should be fighting in our wars, not just a select few.
Has anyone explained why the polls with weekend numbers favor Obama and the polls with only weekday numbers tend to favor McCain? Which is most representative for election turnout?
One of the more interesting bits of trivia is from the 1972 election.
Nixon beat McGovern among the 30 year-old and under voters.
That is kind of an odd swing; almost similar to the way many of the pollsters come out and correct things just before elections, so that they don’t get accused of being idiots or trying to push the polls for the Dems. When will they learn.
My guess is the youth won’t show up en masse.
Young voters today are not streaming audio on the web or getting their news from Fox. I don’t have TV, but I susspect such statements by Obama, about fighting in our wars, never see the light of day on the media that youngsters view. Actually, it’s news to me.
I noted this to someone else, but...what do you think about McCain backing into Iowa? I simply presumed that was long dead gone. He has several events posted there; either the internals are showing some daylight or he enjoys wasting time and ethanol.
I’m pretty encouraged by this stuff ~ but I’m also a big optimist.
Hold all the battlegrounds and add PA to the mix!!
You’re right, it’s the sample size.
18-24 year olds.
Palin factor? There’s a reason the MSM has been targeting her relentlessly of late.
