Who does he think is attracting these "young voters"? Himself and Romney? ugh
"Rush Limbaugh, the well-known conservative talk radio host, discussed a new poll on Tuesday. Limbaugh mentioned a poll released by the Public Religion Research Institute and the Georgetown University's Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs. The headline reads "Young Voters Trending More Republican".
Rush Limbaugh mentioned this and preened.
Limbaugh pointed to the Obama campaign and claimed that there were stories he had to discuss which admit Obama is not doing well with young people. Limbaugh then claims, "Romney is showing the ability to sneak up on people in a way".
This leaves one to think that the reason why voters are trending Republican is because they like Mitt Romney. This could not be farther from the truth. Establishment Republicans are crooning over this poll and nudging each other. One can easily imagine the "good Ol' boys" talking about how the youth can't help but lean Republican when they see what Obama's done to the country.
"This poll also only surveyed those between the ages of 18 and 24, which probably pushed its results leftward. It is quite likely that millennials between the ages of 24 and 30 would have appeared even more receptive to conservative economic policy, since they have suffered from the vicissitudes of the current job market that the younger half of the generation has not yet endured."
How easily these Republicans forget Congressman Ron Paul. It seems as though it's second nature considering the 12-term Congressman from Texas is left off many Republican presidential candidate lists. However, Congressman Ron Paul is well known on college campuses.
Most of the Republicans crooning about this poll, however, may not have read most of the results. Interestingly enough, only 32% of the "college-age Millennial voters" have a favorable view of Mitt Romney. In fact, 45% of those polled identify themselves as Independent.
The Republican Party may learn quite quickly that if their nominee for President of the United States is not Ron Paul, the young voters will no longer be trending Republican.
