New Poll on Voters Under 30
USA Today, MTV, and the Gallop polling agency teamed up to conduct a fairly comprehensive poll on voters under 30. The results show a number of very interesting insights. They break down the poll in this article.
The data looks at presidential preference, party affiliation, and issues that younger voters feel strongly about. Similar to the entire electorate, economy is vastly regarded as the number one issue on voter's minds. The poll also finds that an astonishing 73% of those surveyed intent to vote this fall, a very encouraging number.
The poll was conducted September 18-28 and included land lines and cell phones.

VOTER REGISTRATION DEADLINE TODAY
The voter registration deadline is today. Please make sure you turn in all the forms you collected throughout your voter registration activities, it is the law!
Also, you can mail them in as long as they are postmarked with today's date. This does not mean you can just drop them in a post box, as they may not be picked up until tomorrow. The best way to go is to drop the directly off at the county board of elections or a post office.
Also, it is very helpful to copy forms so you can follow up with potential voters as election day nears.
Good luck!
