Not only do they have notebooks, textbooks, pens, pencils and the occasional acne treatments in their backpacks, college students are also often seen with Obama pins and stickers on their bags. In a recent poll in Pennsylvania, 71 percent of college students in the state supported Obama. Of course, this is not very surprising. Obama has won that section of the vote in almost every state since the primaries began.

Unfortunately for Obama, voter turnout among college age voters still remains low. In the last election about 50 percent of eligible voters turned out to vote. Only 47 percent of voters 18 to 24 voted, while 70 percent of voters over 45 made their choice known.
