Youth % Voter turn out by race



This graph shows the voter turnout of people ages 18-29 in the 2008 presidential elections. 2008 had the highest youth voting in any election .I was kind of surprised to see that the African-American  youth had the highest voter turnout. Only a total of about 51% of the youth vote actually voted. If more youth got out and voted, we could make a lot of changes...

State of the Country: Right Direction / Wrong Track graph




Not surprised that about 62% of Americans believe that Obama is on the wrong track. Also, this number seems to be gradually increasing. It should be interesting to see how this number changes throughout his term.
