A Generation in Transition: Religion and Politics among Millennials

Four years after younger voters headed to the polls in record numbers, helping to send then-Senator Barack Obama to the White House, a new national survey of more than 2,000 18-24 year old Millennials provides new insights about the challenges both Barack Obama and Mitt Romney face in reaching the newest group of young American voters.

Conducted jointly by Public Religion Research Institute and the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs at Georgetown University, the new poll finds President Obama holds a 7-point lead over a generic Republican candidate, with nearly half (48 percent) of young Millennial voters saying they would prefer that Obama win the 2012 election, compared to 41 percent who say they would like to see a Republican win. However, only 34 percent of voters who would prefer a Republican candidate say Mitt Romney is their first choice to be the GOP nominee. Another challenge for both campaigns is that the PRRI/Berkley Center poll also finds that only 61 percent of college-age Millennials are currently registered to vote, and only 46 percent say they are absolutely certain they will vote in November.

    The fact that the majority of young people support maobama is an indication of just how badly our lieberal/atheist control mis-education system has failed to produce truly educated graduates. There is no way that a person who can think logically can support this malignant wannabe dictator. If they do vote for him and he gets re-elected, they will deserve the disaster that will follow his reelection.

    A large percentage of those coming into voting age today were not raised in Christian based homes. That means that it is very important that, we the older generations get ourselves to the polls if we do to want to see Obama, "RULING FOR FOUR MORE YEARS."

      We also need to vote for as many conservatives as possible for the Senate and the House in case 0 wins so they can impeach or try him for treason. Treason would be better since he would not get our tax money for the rest of his life.

    When we look around and take into consideration the conditions it appears that we are int he days described int eh scriptures below:

    This time is here: Luke 21: 9-17
    9. When you shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end but the end is not by an by.
    10. Then said HE unto them, "Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
    11. And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
    12. But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.
    13. And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
    14. Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what you shall answer:
    15. I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all you adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
    16. And you shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kin folks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.
    17. And you shall be hated of all men for my name's sake

      Tim LaHaye says this scripture deals with the Destruction of the Temple. For many millennials this is the first time they have experience a recession. They do not know how is was before President Reagan and how Obama just went back to the Carter economic model.
