[Dialogue] {Disarmed} Young people hostility towards GOP

Now only if they would vote!!!!
 
A _new study_ 
(http://www.democracycorps.com/reports/analyses/Democracy_Corps_July_27_2007_Youth_Memo.pdf)  (PDF) finds a devastating collapse of support  
for the GOP among the next generation. Money quote:
 
Young people react with hostility to the Republicans on almost every measure  
and Republicans and younger voters disagree on almost every major issue of 
the  day. The range of the issue disagreements range from the most prominent 
issues  of the day (Iraq, immigration) to burning social issues (gay marriage, 
abortion)  to fundamental ideological disagreements over the size and scope of 
government.  This leaves both potential Democratic nominees with substantial 
leads over Rudy  Giuliani, but importantly, both Democrats still have room to 
grow their support  among younger voters. The current problems with the 
Republican brand are not  fully reflected in young people’s preferences for President.
