Yeah, only the seriously brain dead are enthusiastically supporting Obama now, you know, the 47%. The other 53% who don’t get free phones from Obama have a better grasp of reality. And that’s about how the numbers will ultimately break down on election night: 52.5% for Romney, 46.5% for Obama and about 1% for Johnson or whomever.

Four more years with Obama and those students will be lucky to have any job before they are 30 that doesn’t involve waiting tables, mopping floors or working fast food. The smarter students understand this. The dumber ones think Obama will just forgive their student loans.

A 50% probablility of getting a job after graduation has to be an eye-opener for any college kid. The thought of moving back in with the parents while flipping burgers for a living isn’t what hope and change is all about.

[Ohio State student] Cameron Phelps, 19 . . . "Obama's track record is not good."

Cameron must be majoring in understatements.

My daughter, a former Obama supporter, refuses to vote for Romney, and has elected to stay home on Nov. 6

She’s coming around, slowly but surely.Parenthood will do that.

She probably plans on doing social work for a non-profit organization.

1) the important takeaways from this are that overall numbers are down; overall enthusiasm among those registered is down; and preference for Obama is down. ZEro will be terribly disappointed by the yut vote this time around.

2) At my university---and admittedly, I'm not on campus a great deal---I see no overt enthusiasm anywhere for Obama. There is little for Romney, but the students are aware of the debt and deficits and if anything, I think they'll stay home in numbers even higher than what this report suggests.

3) VERY IMPORTANT: have you noticed that ZEro can only give speeches on college campuses anymore? He can't do public speeches because he'll get heckled---and he absolutely can't stand that---and his crowd sizes are down so dramatically everyone will notice. So he stays on safe campuses where he can still draw a crowd (Poly Sci profs all let out their classes to go to his rallies!)

I have 2 daughters in this demographic.

One in SC and one in Tx. Both are voting Romney.

The 18 year old college freshman texted the following to the DW during the last debate: “Obama is a friggin’ idiot.”

The 21 year old picked up on Obama’s contradiction on illegal immigration and creating highly skilled, good paying jobs. She rightly said you can’t have both.

Hopefully these two are a good sample.

Hell I wasn’t enthusiastic about him four years ago. This crappy economy has crushed my dreams in the past four years. Here’s hoping for a recovery in the next four nd that my generation wakes the eff up.

“How does Romney have the right to tell me what I can and can’t do with my body?” asked Tabitha Johnsen, a 21-year-old Columbus native attending Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware. She’s already voted for Obama.”

No jobs for you then. Next!

It sounds like you have two spart daughters. I cannot imagine why any 18 to 35 year olds would vote for Obama. If he maintains the same policies he has been promoting, these young people will have no SS, no medicare as it will be nonexistent when they turn 65. They will be saddled with this enormous debt which will trickle down to their children. Jobs are seriously scarce for them now and that will not improve under Obama with his regulations and taxes. The price of gasoline is not going to come down as Obama banned the Keystone pipeline and most drilling on public lands. Many of them are having to move back in with their parents. The future does not look bright for them with four more years of the same old, same old.

Some college student asked Obama about jobs and Obama said something to the effect that he would create more manufacturing jobs. I bet this young man did not go to college to get a manufacturing job.

I could go on and on, but I think these young people who are voting Obama have been brainwashed by the months and months of negative ads by the Obama administration. The young people quoted in this article are just parroting Obama’s description of Romney. Initially I was not supportive of Romeny, but The more I hear about Romeny and how unselfish he is with his time and money, the more I like him.

Based on his track record, I think Romney can turn this economy around and create jobs and our Community Organizer in Chief has not a clue of how to do this as he has proven to us these last four years.

"Sixty-three percent of young registered voters plan to cast ballots this year, compared with 72 percent four years ago. And 61 percent call themselves “highly engaged” this year, down from 75 p ercent in 2008."

Critical Bobo segment -9 RV Ohio, -14 on engagement.

Turn out the liiiights, the party's over....
