This is the coup de grace republicans don't even see coming.

These votes will be HUGE and voluminous! These are the people rarely reached by pollsters because they have only a cell phone. Only 52% have a land line phone. 87% have a cell phone.

68% :puke: Bush.

And these were the numbers October 4-16 .... before the Foley expose and Haggard :rofl:

Midterm Election Turnout Could Be Historic


With historic midterm elections days away, 18 to
24 year olds appear poised to vote in greater
numbers than they have in the last several
elections.

At the time the survey was taken, 72
percent of 18 to 24 year olds were registered to
vote and nearly a third (32%) reported that they
would “definitely be voting” on November 7th.
Even if turnout falls slightly on Election Day, it is
likely that more young people will vote in the
2006 midterms than at any time in the last two
decades.

Over the last four midterm elections,
turnout among 18 to 24 year olds averaged 21
percent while those aged 25 or older averaged 51
percent turnout. The highest midterm turnout
since 1974 was 1982 when 27 percent of young
adults voted.

Among all 18 to 24 year olds in our
survey, the subgroup most likely to vote on
November 7th are recent college graduates (45%
say they will definitely vote), while those who
have never attended college or are still in high
school are the least likely.


Midterm Elections

A plurality (41%) of all 18 to 24 year olds in the
survey prefer that the Democrats win control of
Congress on November 7, a quarter (25%) prefer
that the Republicans maintain control and 34
percent have no preference.

Among those most likely to vote, 52 percent prefer Democratic
control, and 29 percent prefer Republican
control.


Turn out the lights...the party's over.........

2. Please email all your friends with only cell phones

[MADem]

3. I agree that we NEED THE KIDS NOW MORE THAN EVER

If you live near a college campus or on one, I plead with you, GOTV. And start EARLY. We need those kids getting their asses to the polls BEFORE lunch, not after dinner.

[Erechtheides]

20. the kids are on it

I'm a college student. I don't know anyone between the ages of 18 and 40 who isn't voting. And voting Democratic.

[Danascot]

22. Welcome to DU Erechtheides!

My son is 17, going to college next year. I'm not exaggerating when I say my son and his friends are some of the finest people I've known. I have great hopes and expectations for your generation.

[Avalux]

4. I have a cell phone and Vonage.

Neither # is published - I get ZERO calls. :hi:

5. We'll win big

My champagne is in the fridge>

[longship]

6. Yup, I have *two* bottles!!!

One for the House.
One for the Senate.

The question is...

Which bottle gets opened first?

Gee I think I'll post a poll about that?

[Justice Is Comin]

17. The first bottle I'm going to open will be the one

that toasts our hard work here at the DU ranch.

Can I get an Amen!

[longship]

7. I have two sons,

one 19, the other 23. Both are registered to vote, both have cell phones, both are away at college. I don't know if they'd be considered to have landlines or not, since they do have one at home, but not, for all practical purposes, where they are at the moment. We live in Kansas, a state with a liberal advance voting policy. Both mailed in their ballots last week.

8. bet that this age group is a huge demographic on You Tube

and we are better at getting our message out there.

[smoogatz]

9. A note of caution, before we get too worked up about these stats.

Very similar numbers were touted all over the net before the '04 election--and for whatever reason there was no discernible wave of young-cell-only voters. It may happen this time, but don't hold your breath.

[GeorgeGist]

10. ha ha, ...

[Marnieworld]

11. 72% of 18-24 reg. to vote? WoW!

And they say that the young are too apathetic? That's fantastic!

[Greyhound]

13. Hope this is right. Still waiting for them to crack that, etched in stone,

solid 17% that actually turns out every cycle. :kick:

[Justice Is Comin]

16. They have a margin of error that is less than

2 percent !!

And they accurately predicted almost exactly the per cent of increase this age group would vote in the 2004 election. You have to read the link info buddy to get the full impact of this tidal wave.

[ourbluenation]

14. My 18 year old voted!!!!

most of his righties friends are not voting. Isn't that fabulous??? :)

[phylny]

19. My 21-year-old is voting in Virginia, where she has residency,

and my 18-year-old is voting for the VERY FIRST TIME here tomorrow!

PLUS, my Moderate Republican husband told me that he's voting for John Hall, Democrat, for the House tomorrow!!!

Four voters, three democrats, one Republican, all voting for Democrats!

[flyarm]

15. it is even higher in age..my son college grad..now working in nyc

and none of his friends have land lines!! not one of them..and i asked at his birthday party with about 30 kids the same age..none have landlines..all have cells and blackberries..and all are voting dem!!

they are the new generation college grad workers...
