“In 2008, 54% of likely voters identified as Democrat or lean Democrat. 42% of likely voters identified as GOP or lean GOP. In other words, the electorate, including independents who lean towards a particular party, was D+12. This year, however, the Democrat advantage has disappeared. 49% of likely voters today identify as GOP or lean GOP. Just 46% of likely voters are or lean towards the Democrats. This is a 15-point swing towards the GOP from 2008 to an outright +3 advantage for the GOP. By comparison, in 2004, when Bush won reelection, the electorate was evenly split, with each party getting support from 48% of likely voters.”

And that youth vote Obama got in 2008? Well, it seems they grew up and had to get jobs. Let’s hope they look around and figure out they can’t chase his father’s socialist and anti-colonialist dreams another four years. The current youth vote (born 18-20 years ago) are still stumbling in the dark and trying to lose their virginity vote.
