Single data point shows decline
Or so this article should be titled. Here's the beef:
The startling collapse of GOP support among young voters is reflected in the poll's findings that show two-thirds of young voters surveyed believe Democrats do a better job than Republicans of representing their views - even on issues Republicans once owned, such as terrorism and taxes. That's it. Besides some vague mention about how things were different "back then," there's no other data, no other numbers, no trends, nothing to suggest that this is a "collapse of support." Young people tend to be liberal. Wow. The commenters seem to think this is a press release, rather than an article, and they may be right. But I particularly like this line:
With headlines about a mortgage crisis, outsourcing, health care costs and immigration, she said young voters want their political parties to stop fighting and offer solutions. The mortgage crisis? Young people care about the mortgage crisis?
