Do you agree with all of the positions of any one given party or candidate?

My two children -- both Millenials -- are starting to realize that when people don't think critically before voting, things like Obama happen.

Thanks for the glimmer of Hope.

I have received none at all from the Whitehouse or Congress for years now.

Too bad these fools inflicted him on us not once but twice. Better late than never, I suppose.

I wouldn`t put a lot of stock in what young people today know about anything. How political savvy can a generation be that doesn`t know the capitol of Canada?

LMFAO, this comment is funny considering this is a thread about an article written about an article that was written about the survey. neither the OP, his article, or the article it sources from actually links to the survey.

The OP of this thread includes no direct quotes. I guess my point i, take your own advice.

But to get to the point of your comment, wanting to recall Obama is not the same as wanting a republican (which is what the OP is trying to claim). Here is the poll itself, with no spin, just their results.

Demographic and Political Profile - Fall 2013 Survey | The Institute of Politics at Harvard University

#5 on the Survey answers your question

"If you could recast your 2012 vote for President today, for whom would you vote ? "

only 1% of Obama voters would have voted for Romney over Obama, but 4% of Romney votes say they would have voted for Obama.

Republican Congressional approval is 19%

Democratic Congressional approval is 35%

Barack Obama's approval rating is 41%

Why exactly do Republicans continue to talk about the President's approval rating as if it is the lowest of the 3 when in fact it is the highest ???

They probably believed they would get 'free healthcare' and 'free college'.

They probably still want those things.

That's why they helped Obama get elected. They don't know any better.

I would take Independent over Obama any day. In fact it was Obama that caused me to swing right.

If you look at the way Obama tries to market his ideas to young people, he really thinks very little of them. Just look at the Obamacare ad with the keg. Now he is advocating young people push others into signing up for Obamacare while out drinking in bars. It's really pathetic and insulting. But I guess he figures they bought into his rhetoric before so why not.
