Q&A with "Causes" Creator; More Youth Vote Polling

  • Over at MyDD, Nancy Scola sits down with Joe Green, creator of the new Causes application on FaceBook. The two discuss Green's Project Agape, next steps for Causes, and a hint at something even bigger coming out next month.
  • I don't know how I missed this, but Young Voter Strategies released more information on early youth vote polling (pdf), showing that the youth vote is still up for grabs, but the fight is primarily between Clinton and Obama on the Democratic side. Obama currently leads 35%-29% overall, with most of his advantage coming from Men and college-youth. Clinton is drawing support from women and non-college youth.
  • A columnist for the Raleigh News Observer has some interesting ideas about how a national popular vote could mean higher youth turnout.
  • The Denver Post notes that both parties are starting to scramble to capture the allegiance of young voters.
