Default "Youth" Vote not as solid as Obama may think.

Quote:
CHICAGO — He’s a Republican, for starters. He describes himself as “older than dirt.” And he makes no apology for an Iraq war that is especially unpopular on college campuses. Doesn’t sound like a recipe for winning the hearts of young voters. And yet John McCain has vowed to make a serious play for the 18- to 29-year-old crowd that’s often identified with “Obama-mania.”

Could the 71-year-old grandfather possibly have a shot?

Several polls, including a recent AP-Ipsos survey, show Democrats Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton faring far better with that age bracket when pitted individually against McCain.

But in the last month or so, there have been blips in McCain’s favor. One recent AP-Yahoo News poll found that 38 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds supported McCain, while 37 percent were for Obama. When pitted against Clinton, it was McCain 43 percent, Clinton 28 percent. The margin of error was plus or minus 4.9 percentage points.

Alot of the "youth" vote polls have been focused on the Democrat Nomination and notably College campuses up til now. Be interesting to see if the leftist college Democrat primary youth voter is really representing the the youth in the USA.

Since 1 in what 5-6 probably closer to 10 kids even go to college Obamas "Youth" vote may indeed be an abberration. One thats centered almost exclusively around college campuses and little else.

Based on that fact alone, he gets my vote.
