Millenials predict Obama loss, unenthused about Occupy Wall Street, Harvard poll finds

Young Americans--a key voting bloc for Barack Obama in 2008-- currently predict the president will lose his re-election bid next year, according to a new poll of so-called millennials conducted by Harvard's Institute of Politics, and just a small number now believe the country is headed in the right direction.

Among 18-to-29-year-olds surveyed Nov. 23- Dec. 3, just 12 percent believe the country is "headed in the right direction" and 52 percent indicated that things are "off on the wrong track." Both those numbers represent declines from February's figures when 20 percent of millennials polled said that things were moving in the right direction, while 39 percent said they were heading in the wrong direction. The poll's margin of error is plus or minus 2.2 percentage points.

That pessimism correlates with lackluster support for the president in the age demographic. Thirty-six percent of millennials believe President Obama will lose re-election and just 30 percent believe he will win. Another 32 percent percent said they were unsure.

What would happen if the republicans got in office? What do they think the republicans would do? Send MORE jobs overseas? Get rid of minimum wage laws? The Child Labor laws? Privatize the government so that our taxes will go up because we will be paying three times the amount of money to corporations as it takes the government to run the country?

I hope we get to find out.

I truly believe if he sings the National Defense bill into law, the right will win the presidency. He caves into the rich and the right once too often.
