They have been paying attention, and they don’t like what they see or hear coming out of this White House. A survey released by the vastyouth empowerment movement known as Generation Opportunity offers a wakeup call for both candidates, but especially the president. Among the findings are that:
54% believe of youths believe America is on the wrong track, while only 24% feel the U.S. is headed in the right direction.
More than 50% are pessimistic about the country’s future, and 61% say that their vote in November will be reflection of a candidate’s record, not charisma.
Millennials have been educating themselves on the issues and have opinions. When it comes to the economy and federal spending:
89% say the current state of the economy is impacting their day-to-day lives, and 77% report delaying major life changes due to economic restraints.
66% are worried about the U.S. financial debt, and 71% have grave concerns about the deficit.
Two thirds also believe that money spent on Social Security would be safer under their pillows than in the hands of the U.S. Treasury.
69% believe the federal government is not making enough sacrifices right now.
These young voters are acutely aware that paying back the massive debt being run up by this administration will become their and their children’s responsibility. They realize that actions over the past four years have forced them to defer their dreams while the Obama White House has elected to defer its debt onto their shoulders.
Here is one more Generation Opportunity stat that the president may want to pay close attention to, this one of the swing state of Ohio: 81% of Buckeye State Millennials say they plan to vote in the election for president this year.
Bush and the nightmare he and the republicans caused to the nation are still fresh in the minds of those that are sane. Willard is not going to get the youth vote, or any vote from those that love freedom and liberty.

Ahhhhhh...the old and tired out "blame Bush" meme again.
You must like broken records too.
OBVIOUSLY from the polling stated in the OP, you are dead wrong. But I understand that Libs have only a one-track mind.

They don't have to vote for "Willard". They just have to stay home or enjoy the evening drinking some brewskis with friends and skip the polls.

... surveys have shown that the overwhelming majority of men and women under the age of 35 list "The Daily Show" as their primary source of television news.

Except that if you read the OP, you'd see that's not the case:

At the high school where I work, I have been seeing a bunch of kids wearing "So Far He Sucks" (meaning Obama) T-shirts this fall. My daughter has one - they sell them at Spencer's.
I think there is a disconnect with many -- they will vote for Obama because they see him as a cool pop celebrity type. Also Obama has been successful at convincing many people that unemployment is all due to a few rich people -- and that high debt is all the fault of a few rich people not paying enough taxes. And they figure Bush is to blame for everything in the Middle East and and try as he might Obama cannot stop sending Americans to die over there.
Mainly for Johnson or write in Paul, they are not voting for Willard.
I already know the answer to this, but.....
