Short Attention Spans

Michael Barone, writing for Townhall.com, analyzes a variety of polls and events and concludes that Obama peaked awhile back and now is on the decline. To be sure, he understands that such things can turn around but the trend now for Obama is down, and for McCain is up.

Barone findings agree with our contention that the young have too short an attention span to stay involved with an election season that lasts over a year. Polls suggest that as many as a third of them have already lost interest, moved on to other things.
