CNN Exit Poll: Preliminary Youth Vote Numbers

CNN's exit poll is up and the youth vote stats are REALLY interesting (if still preliminary).

Overall, youth turnout looks to be up. Turnout is up across the state - among all demographics - and young voters are currently projected to be 18% of the electorate - up from 14% in 2004. This means the hard turnout numbers (how many 18-29 year old actually cast a ballot) is also likely way up.

18 - 24 year olds: 11% of the electorate - Obama winning with 61%
25 - 29 year olds: 7% of the electorate - Clinton winning narrowly 37% - 34%

In Iowa, Obama carried both the 17-24 and 25-29 demographics with 57% of the vote. Clinton cutting into his lead among the older Millennials could be bad news for Obama.

It looks like Clinton's 5 day youth blitz might be paying dividends. If so, I'll be eating crow tonight.
