Young Voters For Obama...Are They Really Cratering?

In the Redstate blog, the opinion was posted that young voters for Obama are cratering Obama's Support Amoung Young Voters .  After reading the blog, I'm not sure if "cratering" is the correct term.  The author, Streiff, gives allot of polling information about young voters and their opinions and convictions back in 2008 and how they aren't sure if they vote again in 2012.  I don't think "cratering" is the correct term for not going to vote.  I believe that the young voters that had so much faith in Obama in 2008, don't have the same faith in him anymore.  Obama promised allot of changes and our youth is not gullible.  They expect the change that was promised to them.  I believe that the young voters that voted for Obama in 2008 have woken up and realized that they made a bad choice.  Streiff also gives statistics for Romney and says that young voters that believe in Romney are more likely to go out and vote.  I believe that voting has always been inspired in the belief that the candidate you are voting for will be true to his word.  The young voters have gotten a taste of reality in politics and woken up to a bitter smell.
