CNN Political Analyst: Obama’s Drop In Support Among Young People ‘My Single Biggest Concern’

With just hours to go before the first polls close, CNN political analyst Paul Begala expressed some concern that young people would not turn out in support of President Barack Obama in the numbers they did in 2008.

Anderson Cooper asked Begala what he made of the apparent drop in enthusiasm among young voters for President Obama. Begala replied that he thought, as an Obama supporter, the lack of enthusiasm among young people was his “single biggest concern.”

Begala did say, however, that the president’s increase in support among Latino voters and seniors – a traditionally pro-Republican bloc of voters – could make up the difference.
