Morning Roundup - More Polls; More on "Generation Me"

A quick roundup of some interesting youth vote news:

• New America Media and pollster Sergio Bendixen are set to release a poll of 600 California youth later today. This is really interesting for a couple of reasons: this poll was conducted via cell phone - short circuiting the whole "youth don't have landlines and don't get polled" meme; the poll focused on 16-22 year olds: those who will comprise the 18-24 bracket come November 2008; finally, NAM and Bendixen have a reputation for reliable, ethnic media polling. There's probably good sampling of ethnic youth in this poll, which will be interesting to see.

  The results are being released later today. I'll have a post up tonight or first thing tomorrow analyzing the results.

• Chris Bowers examines a South Carolina poll and curiously finds that it gives Hillary a 39 point lead over Obama among young voters. He can't explain it and neither can I. It's Zogby, so you can't see the topline data.
• Senator Obama dominated a Stanford University straw poll - garnering as much support as Hillary, Edwards, Richardson and even Al Gore combined.
• Finally, Daniel Swann, a Northwestern University student tears down the notion that Millennials are narcissistic in a Boston Globe op-ed. This is in response to a generational study we discussed (and also ripped apart) here on Future Majority a month or so ago.
