Millennials Favor Republican Congress, Poll Finds
Obama fever is definitely over.
Cambridge, MA – A new national poll of America's 18- to 29- year-olds by Harvard's Institute of Politics (IOP), located at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, finds slightly more than half (51%) of young Americans who say they will "definitely be voting" in November prefer a Republican-run Congress with 47 percent favoring Democrat control – a significant departure from IOP polling findings before the last midterm elections (Sept. 2010 – 55%: prefer Democrat control; 43%: prefer Republican control). The cohort – 26% of whom report they will "definitely" vote in the midterms – appear up-for-grabs to both political parties and could be a critical swing vote in many races in November.

Will someone please poll the Millennials?!?
I think Reason is trying to push the Millennials into the generation most enamored of themselves. It will be a hard fight, the Baby Boomers won't go down easy.
The Baby Boomers are powerless. We represent the final stage in human evolution. Plus, we can use the latest technology more effectively. That counts for something right?
