President Obama’s campaign is redoubling its efforts to woo young voters ahead of the 2012 election, and the campaign has got its work cut out for it.
Shortly after Obama took office, 84 percent of voters aged 18 to 29 approved of the president, according to Post polling. Earlier this month, that figure had dropped to 52 percent.
And a new poll for the Democratic-leaning polling consortium Democracy Corps showed Obama’s approval among young voters actually slipping below 40 percent, a figure roughly consistent with the rest of the population.
President Obama and young voters are no longer a love match
