Every poll ever only calls landlines, because it's illegal for them to call your smellular and use your minutes.
So that gives them a lean towards old people who don't have cell phones.
Since Obama has the youth vote in a death grip, that means the polls are slightly biased against Obama.
Despite this, McCain's bounce was fucking huge.
Now the real campaign begins and we get some debates. I'M PUMPED. |
The youth vote?
Anyone who builds a vote on the young end up disapointed. If Obama wins it won't be because of the Youth. Most of my friends i know who even love politics don't vote.
They always forget it. Some minor inconvience makes it too much trouble, or there high.
I'm like... the only guy i know my age that votes consistantly.
Seriously, voting in general leans towards older people.
Young people never seem to ever care. I mean. They always have strong opinions, but never come through. Kinda pisses me off honestly.

I don't think Obama is building his campaign entirely on the youth vote. But I think the youth vote will break records yet again.
Also, just about everybody I know my age is voting. A couple were assholes, one friend said he didn't want to register because then he'd have to do jury duty. But then they got him anyway through the DMV, so he registered. And he's voted every time since.
But yeah, overall young people are assholes when it comes to voting.

I'm not saying he is. I still say he wins the election. Just that the youth vote itself has flaws in polling.
As for your friends.... but will they. Everyone I knew my age was voting as well last election. Super involved, hated bush more then anything. Only person to vote for Kerry that year?
Me. Well and my girlfriend. Everyone else either forgot, or just didn't find the time.
