Has the Ryan pick helped Romney with young voters: New Zogby poll indicates yes

<snip>

According to Zogby the Ryan pick helped Romney with younger voters and independents, two key battleground constituencies. "Romney saw a bump in support among 18-29 year olds with 41 percent saying they would vote for the ticket of Romney and Ryan," said Zogby. "More importantly, Romney and Ryan led Obama and Biden among independent voters 45 percent to 40 percent."

Of course, as I recall, Zogby has a pretty lousy recent record and this is merely a snapshot, but I sincerely hope that young people aren't going to vote in such numbers for Romney.

Maybe he's on to something and maybe not. I concluded he was untrustworthy in 2008.

I don't do concern, honey, but thanks for your concern over trolls. I have been here for years and years. Don't you think it's a bit dumb to accuse me of that. And yeah, that's what you're doing.

bigoted youngsters are joining GOP ranks. Hopefully, they'll evolve.

2008 cycle.

Website you link to is notoriously silent on methodology, other than overall sample size (1,117). (No mention, for example, of the margin of error, a standard metric found among serious polling.) In fact, the website seems to be shilling for Zogby. IOW, marketing Zogby as a pollster to fat-cats with lots of dough to spend (aka Repigs).
