Today's youth "have continued a long-term drift away from the Republican Party. And although they are just as worried as the general population about the outlook for the country and think their generation is likely to be worse off than that of their parents, they retain a belief that their votes can make a difference, the poll found.
"More than half of Americans ages 17 to 29 — 54 percent — say they intend to vote for a Democrat for president in 2008.

They hold a markedly more positive view of Democrats than they do of Republicans."
