The number of young people who say they are extremely likely to vote has risen by almost 10 percentage points, according to a new poll by CIRCLE, the Center for Information Research and Civic Learning and Engagement at Tufts University.

The poll surveyed 1,109 young people ages 18 - 29 about their thoughts on the presidential election. These were the same young people that they surveyed in June/July of this year, which allowed CIRCLE to get a sense of how young peoples' attitudes have changed over time.

Some highlights of the poll's findings include:

* Two thirds of young people surveyed are currently very or extremely likely to vote.
* Of the young people who say they're extremely likely to vote, President Obama leads by 17 percentage points (52 percent of likely young voters support Obama and 35 support Romney).
* The number of young undecided voters has gone down from 15 % in the summer, to 9 percent in mid-October.
