The New York Times has an article based on a new Pew survey, which points out that young voters have become disillusioned with President Obama, that young voters remain passionate about social issues, but are losing confidence in the Democratic Party, because change hasn't come and the economy hasn't improved, and so many young people may stay away from the polls, and give the majority to the Republicans.

Well, if the youth of America think things are bad now, they don't want to wait and see what will happen under a Republican controlled Congress. They should listen to what the Republicans are saying that the GOP plans to do. They should look at the Tea Partiers inside the GOP.

One of the reasons why the things, such as the economy, haven't improved is, because the GOP Senators, with the senate filibuster, have been blocking legislation that may kick the economy into gear.

This is no time for sun-shiners, whom expect instant sunshine everyday. This is certainly not the time for progressives to stay away from the polls. It is the time to double the progressive youth vote, not let it be diminished.
