President Obama tries to re-seduce youth vote.

President Obama tries to re-seduce youth vote.(TheHill).President Obama is making a concerted effort to recapture the support of young voters who have grown skeptical of his administration. Obama will visit three college campuses in swing states this week, where he’ll try to appeal to young voters by urging Congress to pass legislation to prevent interest rates on subsidized student loans from doubling to 6.8 percent this summer. He’ll appear at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the University of Colorado at Boulder and the University of Iowa, where he’ll make his student loan pitch before large audiences of the country’s youngest voters. All three states were in Obama’s column in 2008. Before leaving Chapel Hill on Tuesday, the president will aim for an even larger audience of young voters when he appears on NBC’s “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.” Obama’s campus tour comes as recent polls indicate that he might have lost some of the “magic dust” one former administration official says he carried in 2008. The campaign “needs the youth vote now more than ever,” said one former senior administration official. “While we know support is still strong, we’re not taking anything for granted.” Senior administration officials backed that premise on Monday by saying that winning over younger voters, in what they think will be a close election, is going to be difficult. At the same time, the officials said they believed they will have the winning recipe when voters hit the polls in November — especially because of their economic message. The falling poll numbers come as data compiled by The Associated Press show that 53 percent of college graduates are unemployed or currently have a job that doesn’t meet their qualifications. Romney trumpeted those figures Monday during a campaign stop, saying that young people are “questioning” the support they gave Obama in 2008. “I saw a report this morning that just about half of all the kids coming out of college can’t find work or are underemployed,” he said in Pennsylvania. “Can you imagine?” Obama, who missed two votes on the legislation when he was a senator in 2007, wants to use the prospect of higher student loans as a wedge issue against Romney. Under existing law, legislation that keeps interest rates on federally subsidized student loans at 3.4 percent will expire in July, causing interest rates to double for 7 million students. Obama is urging Congress to extend the low rates by way of legislation.Hmmmm.........You can fool some of the people......You know the rest.Read the full story here.
