Many younger voters don't have land lines, so they are never represented in polls. Usually that's less of an issue because young folks tend not to turn out at polls. But as we saw during the primaries, they are now, and they're voting for Obama.

The media keeps bringing up the question of whether they'll actually turn out at the polls for the general election. I've tried to work out a scenario in which a young voter is engergized to register for the primary but somehow thinks the general election isn't as important. That just doesn't make sense. They may lose a few who were energized to vote for Clinton but, as we've seen, that's a dwindling number of voters, and they tend to be older.
