Are Democrats Losing the Youth Vote?

From Mark Bauerlein, at the New York Times.

Actually, Dems aren't losing young voters so much as having achieved most of the political successes important to that demographic, especially on social issues like homosexual marriage. It means that --- and I think Bauerlein gets this right --- Millennials are up for grabs, much like the most recent Harvard Millennial poll indicated.

So while this is moderately good news for Republicans, it frankly should have establishment Democrats freakin'. That is, it should have Democrats freakin'. So far, the results of the midterm catastrophe haven't shaken loose the party's delusions of political superiority.
