49% young voters grade Obama poorly

Published June 22, 2012 4:00am ET



Nearly half of the nation’s new voters, age 18-24, think that President Obama has done a “fair” or “poor” job as president, resulting in a 13 point drop in support, but he still maintains a wide lead over Mitt Romney, according to a new poll done by a conservative pro-life group.

The poll conducted for Students for Life of America (http://studentsforlife.org/) and provided to Secrets put Obama’s lead over Romney at 53 percent to 25 percent. That’s a big drop from the 66 percent of the 18-24 vote he got in 2008, but it’s more than enough to give the president something to crow about.
