Speaks Out: Will you vote for Obama?

Do you think Obama will carry the youth vote in 2012? Has your perception of him changed since 2008?

“I don’t think he will (carry the youth vote) because a lot of stuff he promised wasn’t carried out. A lot of people are focused on that.”

Katrina Balian

Second-year, psychology

“I would vote for him. I like that he’s optimistic, charismatic. He’s good-looking.”

“So far, Obama has made good changes, like health care or cutting deficit spending, but we haven’t seen the outcome from them.”

Third-year, sociology

“It matters who he’s running against ““ who would you rather have? People aren’t really passionate about him. I think he was hyped up at first because it was different, but I don’t know if students care too much anymore.”
