Youth Voters: Can Obama Re-energize Them?

Turnstyle on Thursday, Sep. 6th

A version of this story is also airing on NPR’s All Things Considered.

Youth Radio reporter Bianca Brooks is in Charlotte along with the Youth Radio election team.

Over the past few weeks, President Obama has been heavily courting the youth vote, visiting college campuses in swing states around the country. At the Democratic Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, there’s a big push for youth involvement. There are 644 delegates under the age of 35, and even an official youth engagement coordinator. Polls show young adult support for President Obama at around 55%, slightly down from when he was elected in 2008.
